If the carved pumpkins, haunted houses and copious amounts of tempting candy weren’t indicators enough, it’s Halloween time again — and ONE Campus is jumping on the bandwagon –- with a twist. Student groups across the country are posting fliers up around their campuses this week to raise awareness of what’s really scary this holiday season: the hard realities faced by the more than 1.4 billion people living on less than $1.25 a day, or the cost of a bag of fun-size Snickers.

Featuring Halloween staples -– ghosts, vampires, bats and pumpkins -– ONE is helping to educate students using eye-catching fliers with interesting facts on everything from malaria to the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. With fourteen campus chapters participating – including last year’s campus challenge winners, University of Michigan – the fliers offer a fun and interesting way to highlight ONE’s issues and energize young people to join the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease.

Want to join in the festive fun but no longer hold a college ID? Never fear, download the four different fliers in the links below! Whether it’s handing them out with your favorite candy or incorporating them into your decorations this year, these fliers are sure to help trick your treaters into learning more about how to fight extreme poverty this Halloween season by joining ONE.
