Who invented the very first UNICEF box??

Question

I know it was shaped like a pumpkin, but who was the first person to invent it??

Answer 1

Had to be in the 50's. When I was growing up in Ohio, the night before Halloween was called, "Penny Iny Night"  You would go door to door and actually get money...Kinda cool, but then someone came out with the UNICEF box, and all the money was given to that organization.  Most kids stopped doing it, because they no longer could keep the money.  Heck, I was well on my way to early retirement!

Answer 2

Rockerfellers.  No kidding.

Answer 4

Trick-or-Treat UNICEF box

Since 1950 when a group of children in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania donated $17 they received on Halloween to help post-World War II victims, the Trick-or-Treat UNICEF box has become a tradition in North America during the haunting season. These small orange boxes are handed to children at schools and at various locations (such as Hallmark Gold Crown Stores) prior to October 31. To date, the box has collected approximately $91 million dollars (CAD) in Canada and over $132 million (US) in the USA.

Answer 5

A greedy college student who didn't have enough beer money for the halloween party.
