What is Red Nose Day and how often is it held?

Red Nose Day is a fundraising campaign run by the non-profit organization Comic Relief Inc., a registered U.S. 501(c)(3) public charity. It is an annual event that brings people together to have fun, raise money and change the lives of kids who need our help the most. May 25 is Red Nose Day in the United States.

Red Nose Day launched in the US in 2015, dedicated to ending child poverty, both in the US and in some of the poorest communities in the world. The money raised by Red Nose Day in the US has benefited programs for children and young people in all 50 states and in 25 countries internationally.

The British charity Comic Relief started Red Nose Day in England in 1985 as a way to raise money to fight child poverty. It is held every two years in the U.K. and has raised $1.4 billion, which is distributed to charities that fight child poverty.
