Red Nose Day May 25th


Have you heard of Red Nose Day 2017?  Red Nose Day is an annual fundraising event, and special night of television organized by Comic Relief.  It has received tremendous support from fellow Americans, celebrities and corporate partners driven to end child poverty - one "nose" at a time.  Christian organizations that receive funding and benefit from Red Nose Day include Covenant House, charity: water, Feeding America, Save The Children, and Boys and Girls Club of America.

Where do you get a red nose?  Walgreens has been the official retailer of the iconic Red Nose since the campaign's launch in the US in 2015.  They are easy to find and are only $1.

I am ready for Red Nose Day 2017

To help raise awareness and aid in the fundraising efforts, NBC has dedicated a special night of television programming on May 25.  Actress Julia Roberts, will join adventurer and fellow Christian, Bear Grylls in Kenya for "Running Wild With Bear Grylls."  The full line-up includes "Celebrity Ninja Warrior for Red Nose Day" at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT, the 9:00 p.m. episode of "Running Wild With Bear Grylls," and "The Red Nose Day Special," at 10:00 p.m.
