STUDIO CITY (CBSLA.com) — Deputy Director of the Southern California Regional Office for the U.S. United Nations Children's Fund, Amber Hill, stopped by KCAL9 Friday to discuss this year's Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign!

For the first time in the program's 62-year history, kids can design their own Trick-or-Treat collection boxes to enter into the "Create a Character" contest!

Kids can submit designs through Oct. 26. Then the winners from three age categories will receive up to 1,000 boxes to distribute in their community.

Since its creation in 1953, the program has raised more than $167 million for children in need worldwide.
