About Red Nose Day Red Nose Day
(rednoseday.org) is a fundraising campaign run by the non-profit
organization Comic Relief Inc. (comicrelief.org), a registered
501(c)(3) public charity. Red Nose Day has raised over $1 billion
globally in the last 25 years, and in the UK has become a cultural
phenomenon where people across the country come together to have
fun, raise money and change lives. Red Nose Day launched in the
U.S. in 2015, dedicated to raising money to help children who are
most in need, both in the U.S. and in some of the poorest
communities in the world. Last year it benefited children and young
people in all 50 states and in 15 countries internationally.
Red Nose Day returns this year on Thursday May 26, 2016. The
day's events will culminate in a two-hour live primetime TV special
on NBC, featuring the biggest stars across comedy, music, TV and
film. Funds raised go to the Red Nose Day Fund which distributes
the money through programs to keep children and young people safe,
healthy and educated. Comic Relief Inc. in the US and Comic Relief
UK are independent sister organizations that are joined by their
shared vision of a just world, free from poverty and the mission to
drive positive change through the power of entertainment.
* Until June 4, 2016, for each Red Nose purchased Walgreens will
donate $0.50; and for each Red Nose Flair item purchased (Beads,
Bow Ties, Headbands, Sunglasses, Pens, Mugs, Cups and Hats)
Walgreens will donate 10 percent of the purchase price to Comic
Relief Inc.'s Red Nose Day Fund, which helps lift children out of
poverty in the U.S. and overseas. For more information about the
Red Nose Day Fund, visit rednoseday.org. No portion of purchase is
