Hey Kiwanis family!
I’m so honored to be the 2013 Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF Ambassador! Halloween is an exciting holiday for kids around the country—and the Kiwanis family can make it mean even more for kids all over the world.
For the past two decades, Key Club International has raised more than US$6 million through Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. Since 2011, the funds have supported The Eliminate Project — resulting in more than US$1.1 million to help save and protect women and babies from maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). This year, the entire Kiwanis family will again trick or treat to help protect moms and babies from MNT.
Raising money to help others can be easy and fun. During the Key Club International Convention in Washington, D.C., Key Club members held a “Dance to Eliminate.” They passed around baby bottle-shaped coin cans to collect loose change. In just two minutes, they raised more than US$784. That will help save or protect more than 500 lives from MNT. Imagine how much money the entire Kiwanis family can raise! I dare you—the Kiwanis family—to raise US$1 million this year. I know you can do it!
If you want to make a better world for moms and babies everywhere, join me this Halloween for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. Do your best to help eliminate MNT—and save or protect even more moms and babies this year!
Love,
Laura Marano
