Hollywood and music's biggest stars are coming together Thursday (May 21) for a "fun-raising" special on NBC to celebrate Red Nose Day.

Red Nose Day's five-week campaign focuses on efforts to change the lives of children and young people in poverty in the U.S. and overseas. The campaign partnered with Walgreens and ultimately supports 12 non-profit organizations, including the Boys & Girls Clubs of America; charity: water; the Children’s Health Fund; Feeding America; Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance; the Global Fund; LIFT; the National Council of La Raza; the National Urban League; Oxfam America; Save the Children and the United Way.

The campaign will culminate in NBC’s televised fundraising event on May 21 in New York. It's a three-hour live benefit featuring top-notch comedians, musicians and Hollywood stars, providing great comedy, live musical performances and short, compelling films that help shed light on this important, and life-changing, cause.

Included in the mix are some of Hollywood's biggest stars, including Julia Roberts, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Jodie Foster and more. Videos produced by Funny or Die will make you laugh until you cry and, in doing so, will help lift children and young people out of the throes of poverty.

Don't miss the televised Red Nose Day fundraising event on May 21 on NBC at 8PM ET. And while you’re at it, be sure to support Red Nose Day by visiting Walgreens, where you can donate and contribute to the Red Nose Day Fund. We promise, you won’t be the only one wearing a red nose that day!
