Celebrating an Inspiring Decade of Lives Changed

Have you ever wondered where Red Nose Day funds go? This year, Comic Relief US is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Red Nose Day in the United States. Since its launch, our signature campaign has raised over $370 million, making a positive impact on the lives of more than 35 million children and young people.

‍Teaming up with community-led organizations around the globe, Red Nose Day has provided:

41M+ meals to hungry American children
1.4M+ children with educational support
11M+ life-saving vaccines
1.9M+ children and youth in safety programs

Through the power of entertainment, we’ve raised life-changing funds to build a more equitable, healthier life for kids. Learn more about the incredible programs supported through Red Nose Day donations over the years with these clips from our recent NBC Special, ‘Cheers to Ten Years’:

Blake Sheldon, Julia Roberts, Susan Kelechi Watson, Paul Rudd,  Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, and Dan + Shay celebrate the work of Red Nose Day-supported programs bringing crucial services and support to underserved communities in the US. 

As we celebrate the inspiring progress made in the past decade, we also know that the work is far from over. Nearly 1 in 6 children live in poverty in the US and globally, 566 million children are deprived of one or more basic needs, like food, shelter, healthcare, or education. We need your continued support to reach even more children and create lasting change. 

Every donation brings us closer to a world with less childhood poverty and more childhood, so donate today and help make a difference in the lives of kids experiencing poverty.
