Red Nose Day is a day to make a difference for kids around the world. It’s not just about fundraising; it’s FUN-raising, hence the red nose. 

Red Nose Day is run by the non-profit organization Comic Relief Inc and has raised over $1 billion globally in the last 25 years. It launched in the U.S. last year and had helped children in need in the U.S. and some of the poorest communities.

Money raised goes toward children's meals, clean water, immunizations, medicine books, and more.

Walgreens is the exclusive retailer for Red Nose Day. When you purchase your red nose at Walgreens, all proceeds go to the cause, and you can also make a cash donation. Here are some other ways to make a donation.
