Red Nose Day raises money and awareness for kids in need at home and around the world.
The purpose of the event is to make sure every child to be healthy, safe, educated and empowered for the future – and to end child poverty.
According to the Red Nose website, the very first Red Nose Day was held in 1988.
With every fundraiser held, TV special aired, partner enlisted, and Red Nose sold the movement continues to grow. Red Nose Day has raised over $1 billion globally.
Since 2015, Red Nose Day in America has raised over $60 million to help kids and young people most in need. We'll hope you join us on our journey as we make an even bigger impact.
One of the local organizations benefiting from the event is the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Green Bay. For more information about the group, click here.
