For K-Kids, Halloween means more than spooky decorations, cool costumes and ghoulish treats. It is a chance to save lives and put the fun in fundraising—for less than the cost of a bag of Halloween candy. Protect a mother and her future newborns from MNT through Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF.

Is your club ready to join the Kiwanis family to support The Eliminate Project? It’s easy to participate. Here are five simple steps to plan your project.

          1. Pick a fundraiser. Collect funds door-to-door. Dance the 

              night away alongside vampires and werewolves. Host a
              trunk-or-treat. Enjoy an old-fashioned pumpkin pie bake
              off. The ideas are endless. Click the link to find a few!

          2. Set your goal. Estimate what you'll raise through your 

              project. Then add in your expenses. This is your
              fundraising goal.

          3. Get supplies. Do you have everything you need to host your 

              fundraiser? Order collection boxes through the Kiwanis
              Family Store. Consider asking for donations from local
              businesses or even large chain stores.

          4. Promote your event. Print out Trick-or-Treat labels or make

              your own flier or display, letting everyone know about the
              upcoming event and how they can donate. Share the
              information with your sponsoring Kiwanis club.

          5. Submit your donations. Send your donations to the Kiwanis

              International Foundation, along with the Kiwanis-family giving
              form. If your club submits US$250 in donations through
              Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF by December 31, 2016, your club
              will earn a banner patch.
