- Wearing red noses purchased from Walgreen’s on May 24. Proceeds from red noses purchased support Red Nose Day.
- Hold Red Nose Day fundraisers in local communities.
- Share Red Nose Day on social media with #RedNoseDay.
Of the money raised by the public through Red Nose Day, 50% is used to help children in America, and 50% goes toward transforming the lives of children in the poorest communities in Latin America, Asia and Africa.
At Adventure Dental, Vision & Orthodontics locations in Colorado, Kansas, Maryland, New Mexico, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. staff supported Red Nose Day by wearing red noses on May 24. Children were invited to join in and participate with coloring sheets and wearing their own red noses.
Dental health issues disproportionately impact low-income and minority children. Access to affordable dental services for children continues to be an under met need in the United States. In fact, according to the Guide to Children’s Dental Care in Medicaid, tooth decay is the single most common chronic disease among U.S. children. Lower-income and minority children are far less likely to have routine dental checkups and suffer disproportionate rates of tooth decay with 80 percent of cavities in permanent teeth impacting just 25 percent of U.S. children.
