Red Nose Day is a campaign dedicated to helping children and having fun. Proceeds benefit children and young people in the U.S. and some of the poorest communities in the world. Red is a campaign in May that is dedicated to raising money by simply having fun and making people laugh. Money raised is spent to help lift children and young people out of poverty in the United States and some of the poorest communities in the world. The Red Nose campaign has raised more than $1 billion globally in the last 25 years. Half of the money distributed by Red Nose Day 2016 will be spent right here in the United States. The other half will be spent in some of the poorest communities in Latin America, Asia and Africa. All money raised supports projects that ensure kids are safe, healthy and educated.
