Schoolteacher Mary Emma Allison and her husband, Clyde Allison, created Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, a Halloween tradition that has raised more than $160 million for needy children in over 150 countries, according to The New York Times.
Last Wednesday, Allison, 93, died in her home surrounded by her family.
Allison's efforts will continue to live on as trick-or-treaters proudly carry their orange UNICEF boxes with them for many Halloweens to come.

I wish her program would do the same thing. What a terrible thing it is.
You can't be any poorer than dead. UNICEF spends too much on contraception and abortion, when what Third World women and children really need is better healthcare.
"By UNFPA’s own admission in a 2004 report, the most important means of reducing maternal mortality is not access to contraceptives and legal abortion but the presence of skilled birth attendants and access to emergency obstetric care."
Here is what my friend tells her kids when they want to use the UNICEF boxes:
UNICEF does some good things, but they also do a lot of bad things, and we don’t want to help them hurt people. There are other charities that do a better job of helping poor people, so we give our money to them instead.
UNICEF is a great idea in theory, but the reality is quite different.
