EPHS Student Council Brings Awareness to Red Nose Day & World Poverty

On May 26th, Eagle Pass High School Student Council & Leadership Class members participated in Red Nose Day. The Red Nose Campaign raises money to end child poverty around the world.

History of Red Nose Day
In 1985, Comic Relief launched in the United Kingdom with the goal of using comedy to raise money and help those leading really tough lives. The goal? Creating a just world free from poverty.
The very first Red Nose Day was held in 1988. With millions of people participating in its first year, it was clear that a truly amazing movement was underway.
With every fundraiser held, TV special aired, partner enlisted, and Red Nose sold the movement continues to grow. Red Nose Day has raised over $1 billion globally.
Since 2015, Red Nose Day in America has raised over $60 million to help kids and young people most in need. We'll hope you join us on our journey as we make an even bigger impact.
