Laughter can change the world.
One way to spark some snickers and improve the lives of others is by donning a red nose. Really.
May 21 is the inaugural Red Nose Day when people across the country will come together to have fun and raise funds
and awareness for children and young people living in poverty.
Aside from wearing red noses for the cause, the day's events will culminate in a three-hour entertainment TV special on NBC at 8 p.m. featuring the country's favorite comedians, musicians and Hollywood stars, including Julia Roberts, Will Ferrell, Jimmy Fallon, Blake
Shelton, Reese Witherspoon, Jack Black, Pharrell, One Direction, Zac Efron, Nick Cannon and many more.
Charity partners include Boys & Girls Clubs of America, charity: water; Children’s Health Fund, Feeding America, Gavi, The Global Fund, Lift, National Council of La Raza, National Urban League, Oxfam America, Save the Children and United Way.
