Something spooky going on
GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS – 26 October 2011 – This Monday, October 31st, children disguised as ghosts, goblins, superheroes and princesses will go door-to-door to collect more than candy. With their signature orange UNICEF boxes around their necks they will collect much needed money for vaccines, clean water and improved nutrition for less fortunate children around the world. This Halloween marks the 61st anniversary of this long standing tradition in which children are encouraged to make Halloween count by helping vulnerable children around the world. 100% of the funds raised goes directly to UNICEF to support their programmes and initiatives. UNICEF Cayman Kids is proud to sponsor the “Trick or Treat for UNICEF” program for the fifth year in the Cayman Islands and since its inception has raised over US$25,000 for this worthwhile cause. “We are thrilled that the communities in Cayman are embracing this tradition and generously donating to UNICEF, but more importantly, we are grateful for the opportunity to teach our children the importance of helping those that are less fortunate. Getting kids involved in fundraising activities teaches valuable skills, helps build confidence and self esteem plus earns the satisfaction of helping others,” states Aaron Knapik, Director of UNICEF Cayman Kids.
