16 March - Red Nose Day

 


Red Nose Day is an annual fundraising campaign to end the cycle of child poverty and ensure a healthy future for all children. Through the power of entertainment, we bring people together to laugh and have fun, while raising  money and awareness to ensure all children are safe, healthy, educated, and empowered in the U.S. and abroad.

Red Nose Day is an exciting event that is not only fun and delightful, but also raises money for charity. It incorporates comedians and other stars, as well as individuals who want to participate by wearing a red nose for the day, making a donation, and much more.

Back in 1985, Comic Relief started as a charity with the desire to respond to the famine that was devastating Ethiopia at the time. The desire was to get comedians together to help people laugh while raising support to help people around the world.

In 1988 First Red Nose Day is observed on television and  Its logo is “The Plain Red Nose” and it raises more than £15 million for charity, with more than 30 million viewers on BBC1.
