Klum tells PEOPLE that “it was an absolute blast” to work with former contestants for UNICEF’s new campaign. “We laughed, reminisced, and had so much fun bringing this PSA to life," she shares. “It’s always amazing when people you love working with come together for a cause that means so much.”
She also reveals that joining the movement was “a no-brainer” since she’s been “a supporter of UNICEF for many years” and is someone who adores Halloween. “I’ve had the pleasure of working on the Trick-or-Treat campaign before, so when UNICEF USA told me, ‘The Box is Back,’ I jumped at the chance. How could I resist combining my love for Halloween with a cause that does so much good for kids all around the world?”
Klum admits that “there’s something magical about this time of year” and that she’s “beyond honored” to work with UNICEF to “spread their message” during the season she loves. But she notes to PEOPLE that “the truth is, UNICEF’s work is important all year round.”
