In partnership with Comic Relief US, Walgreens aims to bring communities together to help all children live healthier lives by providing access to health care, food and nutrition, disease prevention and more through Red Nose Day funded programs.
“Year after year, our dedicated Walgreens team members rally across the country to raise funds, bring awareness and make a positive impact in the communities we serve through Red Nose Day donations and we’re thrilled to be offering the Red Nose again in store after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic,” said Tracey Brown, President of Retail Products and Chief Customer Officer, Walgreens. “The health and wellbeing of the communities we serve nationwide is a priority for us at Walgreens and we are excited to continue supporting children in need as we emerge into our new normal.”
Donate In-Stores and Online
In-store shoppers can make donations at checkout, show their support and purchase a Red Nose for as little as $1, and online shoppers can donate via Walgreens.com/RedNoseDay. One hundred percent of donations raised will go to Red Nose Day, to fund critical programs that keep children safe, healthy, educated and empowered across the U.S. and around the world.
“Children in underserved communities continue to be disproportionately impacted by the ripple effects of the pandemic, making Red Nose Day-funded programs more critical than ever,” said Alison Moore, CEO of Comic Relief US. “With Red Noses back in Walgreens for the first time in two years, we’re looking forward to raising more funds to ensure all children are safe, healthy, educated and empowered.”
