The biggest names in television, film and music will come together to have fun and raise money for children in need during NBC’s fourth annual “The Red Nose Day Special” on May 24th. Hosted by comedian Chris Hardwick, the telecast will be broadcast live from Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.
Stars joining the special in support of the annual Red Nose Day charity campaign include Jack Black, Jennifer Garner, Kristen Bell, Kelly Clarkson, Julia Roberts, Ed Sheeran and Marlon Wayans among many others. Funds raised support programs in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and some of the poorest communities internationally to ensure that children who are living in poverty are safe, healthy and educated.
Red Nose Day is an annual event that harnesses the power of entertainment to raise money and awareness for children living in poverty in America and around the world. Since launching in 2015, the campaign has raised over $100 million, positively impacting over 8.3 million children. NBC’s Red Nose Day programming is a culmination of a seven-week fundraising campaign that brings together millions of Americans around the country to have fun and make a difference. The campaign’s iconic Red Noses are on sale exclusively at Walgreens and Duane Reade locations nationwide. Over 8 million of the Red Noses have already been sold, with all profits from all sales benefitting Red Nose Day.
For the fourth year, Walgreens is the exclusive retailer of the campaign’s iconic Red Noses – available at Walgreens and Duane Reade locations around the country – and a broadcast partner of “The Red Nose Day Special”. Mars Wrigley Confectionery and the M&M’S(R) brand are also teaming up with Red Nose Day for the fourth year, donating $1 million to the cause as national partners of the campaign.
