Red Nose Day

May 21 is the first Red Nose Day in the US. It was created by Comic Relief in the UK in 1985, and since then has raised 1 billion pounds. I’m not sure of what to expect, but the following description was on the website:

Red Nose Day is a campaign dedicated to raising money for children and young people living in poverty by simply having fun and making people laugh. The inaugural Red Nose Day will be held in the US on May 21st, 2015. People across the country will come together to have fun and raise funds and awareness. The day’s events will culminate in a three-hour entertainment TV special on NBC featuring the country’s favorite comedians, musicians and Hollywood stars—it’s a show not to be missed! The TV special will showcase top comedy and entertainment live and in pre-recorded segments. It will also highlight the issues for which Red Nose Day is fundraising. Viewers will be encouraged to make donations by phone, and online.

I like the idea of having a plan to raise money to help people who are in need. I’m looking forward to the events of the day.
