We’ll let you in on a bit of a secret: Red Nose Day has an online store with all the merch goodies you can nab while also supporting our partner programs. In addition, we have two special (and limited) edition t-shirts, exclusively designed for Red Nose Day by artist, author and illustrator, Charlie Mackesy, available for sale in our US store right now!

One design features the well-known illustration ‘What do you want to be when you grow up? Kind said the Boy’ from Charlie Mackesy’s NY Times bestselling critically acclaimed The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse with a signature embellished Red Nose on the Mole. In addition to this new take on the original artwork, Charlie Mackesy, has also shared a ‘What do you want to be when you grow up? Kind said the Girl’ design especially for Red Nose Day.

The unisex t-shirts come in sizes S through XXL.

Where can you get the t-shirt?

You can snag these exclusive Charlie Mackesy t-shirts for $25 each plus $5 flat fee shipping. One important thing to note is that since we are printing these on demand to minimize waste, our stock of t-shirts is very limited — so, run, don’t walk, to rednosedayshop.org to purchase a t-shirt before it’s all sold out!

Here’s the best part: Net proceeds from the t-shirt (and all other merchandise in the store) fund Red Nose Day partner programs that work to break the cycle of poverty and support children with the resources and tools needed to become safe, healthy, educated, and empowered. In the last six years, Red Nose Day raised more than $240 million and positively impacted over 25 million children in the US and around the world.

Who should buy a t-shirt?

Anyone and everyone! You can purchase one as a special (and kind) gift for a friend — and buy one for yourself too. When you buy a gift from Red Nose Day, your gift keeps on giving.

Why buy Red Nose Day merch from our online store?

In addition to showing that you care about building a brighter future for all, you’re also making a lasting impact on underserved children in the US and around the world.

Now, more than ever, children living in underprivileged communities continue to be disproportionately impacted by the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the need is greater than ever for funds to help provide food, shelter, medical care, education, and more.

By purchasing and wearing a Charlie Mackesy t-shirt, you can turn hope into action by spreading awareness and raising crucial funds for disadvantaged children.

"The pandemic is causing so much pain and worry for many, but it moves and amazes me that people can still find the strength and kindness to look after each other; neighbors, strangers, family, and friends,” Charlie Mackesy told Red Nose Day.

“It has been a heartbreaking and tumultuous time that I think we’d like to forget, but I hope we can remember the small acts of kindness that have brought us much hope,” the artist added. “Many people need us right now, so I hope the Red Nose Day t-shirt helps to raise funds to make a difference.”

So far, in the last six years, Red Nose Day has raised more than $240 million and positively impacted over 25 million children. To date, we have raised over $1 billion worldwide.

You bought the t-shirt. Now, what?

Donning your new t-shirt, you can also celebrate Red Nose Day on Thursday, May 27th, and catch a special episode of NBC’s The Wall airing at 8 p.m., where viewers like you will have the chance to take part in helping raise funds for underserved children during the show.
