Comic Relief USA and Comic Relief UK
About the cause
Comic Relief USA and Comic Relief UK are independent sister organizations that are joined by their shared vision of a just world, free from poverty and the mission to drive positive change through the power of entertainment. Both organizations raise money and awareness through Red Nose Day, which has become a cultural phenomenon where people in both the US and UK come together to have fun, raise money and change lives. In America, funds raised support programs that ensure children who are living in poverty are safe, healthy and educated. In the UK, funds raised support people living really tough lives across the UK and in some of the world’s poorest countries. Comic Relief USA launched in America in 2015 and has raised over $250M in its first five years. Comic Relief started in the UK in 1985 and has raised over £1.3 billion. Proceeds from this promotion will be sent to Comic Relief USA, which will retain a majority of funds and will share a to be determined percentage of funds with Comic Relief UK.
