NOSES ON!

The Red Nose Virus is Spreading Across Galveston County! The Kids from Panera
Bread make sure that the remaining breads and pastries left at the end of every night,
are packed up and ready to donate to families across Galveston County that are struggling
to this day because of Harvey. The Texas City Citizens Police Alumni joined in the
fun and donned their noses to help feed hungry children across the country but especially
to support the Galveston County Food Bank Kidz Pacz Program. And of course
the Police Explorers wanted in to show their support for Red Nose.
Since its launch in 2015, Red Nose Day in the U.S. has raised over $100 million and
has sold 30 million of the campaign’s iconic Red Noses, positively impacting the lives of
more than 8.3 million children living in poverty. Money raised through the Red Nose Day
campaign has supported programs in all 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and 34 countries
internationally. It has helped to fund numerous programs to ensure that children in need
are safe, healthy and educated, which includes providing more than 32 million meals
for hungry American children. Both at home and abroad, Red Nose Day funds have
also helped to deliver: Essential medical services for more than 6.7 million children,
Educational support for more than 850,000 children and care for more than 60,000
homeless children and young people
“People across the country have really taken to the idea of making it fun to make a difference.
In three short years we’ve hit such an incredible milestone — raising over $100
million to help end child poverty, impacting over 8 million children,” said Janet Scardino,
CEO of Comic Relief USA. “We’re so grateful for the continued support from millions of
everyday Americans, hundreds of talent and our outstanding partners. We can’t wait to
see the good we can do together in 2018.”
