It is what it sounds like: a high-school fundraiser on the weekend where students show up, pay a few dollars to relive their elementary school glory days bouncing a kickball on the blacktop, and help raise money for kids in developing nations throughout the world. What could be more fun or more necessary?

This October, the Key Club of Pinnacle High School in Phoenix, Arizona, will host its second annual "Spooktacular for UNICEF," a Halloween-themed carnival that will raise money for UNICEF's service intiative, the Swazi Children Care Project.
It is common knowledge that the HIV/AIDS epidemic has thoroughly devastated the continent of Africa. However, in the small African nation of Swaziland, the disease and its consequences have been incredibly catastrophic. Life expectancy in Swaziland is currently 27 years of age.

We decided to do a jeans and hat day at our school for UNICEF since we have uniforms. Two dollars for both, one for hat, or jeans,etc. We raised over 1000 dollars. I'm not quite sure of the number just yet. We still have to check again. We plan on doing this at least once a month.

The Riverside Do Something Club learned about the work UNICEF does around the world to provide children and families with the 5 basic needs. The Club Members appeared on the school's closed circuit TV and explained what could be done with donations in order to build houses, provide vaccines, stock schools with basic supplies, feed people in need of good nutrition, and create access to clean water. Over $1600 was raised by our club members at Halloween, and our community was educated by children about the important work of UNICEF.
