Fall is a wonderful time to dive into fundraising and increasing awareness about District and

International Projects and Charities, especially Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF in October!

This fall, collect donations instead of candy. Take part in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. All

proceeds raised by Kiwanis-family members from Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF will go to The

Eliminate Project: Kiwanis eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT).

HOW YOU CAN TAKE PART!

Plan and brainstorm fundraiser ideas for your club.

Once you’ve decided on a project, get creative and decorate your boxes.

Spread the news all around about your fundraiser, and collect donations.

Fill out a donation form and submit it with your club’s donations.

Celebrate your hard work! You’ve helped save moms and babies from MNT!

Happy Trick or Treating!

*Send a check (made payable to the Kiwanis International Foundation) or money order and

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” George Eliot “Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you.” Mother Theresa “And this is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time.” Libba Brey “Remember if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm… As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” Audrey Hepburn
