We will continue to call upon businesses and individuals at the community, employee, and Rajant global partner level to sponsor, attend, and give. Together, we will bring greater impact to ensure every child is healthy, protected, educated, and respected. Please join us.â

âPhiladelphians have a distinct history when it comes to UNICEF. In the 1950â?s, Philadelphia was where Mary Emma Allison first distributed the little orange boxes so children could collect money for UNICEF while Halloween trick-or-treating. Back then, the money was used to help children left vulnerable by World War II. Since then, that little orange box idea has grown by leaps and bounds. It is an entirely digital experience in 2022,â says Rajant VP of Global Marketing Alice DiSanto. âFrom digital online giving to star-packed events, Rajant believes there is an âOrange Box Kidâ in all of us eager to give back and make a difference #ForEveryChild. We created a series of videos underscoring Philadelphiaâ?s spirit of Brotherly Love that is wrapped in the tradition of helping UNICEF. We cannot wait to meet fellow âOrange Box Kidsâ in downtown Philly on November 8th. Buy your tickets today.â
