Zendaya has partnered with Trick- or-Treat for UNICEF this Halloween season. She made a surprise appearance at P.S. 163 Alfred E. Smith Elementary in Manhattan, New York early today.
The children in class were able to spend some quality time with her as she assisted them in decorating Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF boxes for them to take it home. As the day progressed, a mass of students came together for an assembly conducted by Zendaya in which she addressed what the campaign was about and what efforts they could make to help the cause of saving the lives of kids just like themselves. In addition, about ten students were lucky enough to participate in a little activity towards the end of the assembly asking her questions from what kind of costumes she wore as a kid to if everyone could get a hug from her.
Trick or Treat for UNICEF has made it more accessible for fundraising through the website Crowdrise. This is a page that has easy to follow steps of donating money electronically if you cannot go and collect money manually from people. Although ordering a collection box is closed right now, if fellow partakers want to still go door-to-door, download a print label and make a box. All the proceeds of donating goes to medical ailments, food, clean water and emergency services to children everywhere in the world. In total, all those that have participated in trick-or-treating in America have raised over $170 million for UNICEF since as early as 1950.
