Introduction
It's time to get your Red Nose on and join the celebration of Red Nose Day on March 17! This special day has been around since 1988, when it was established in honor of Comic Relief, a charity that works to fight poverty and social injustice. Since then, Red Nose Day has grown into an international event and become a symbol of hope for people living in disadvantaged conditions. So don your red nose, have some fun and help make a difference in the world.
