Australia's Red Nose Day Raises Money for SIDS

Count on the Aussies to find a way to help a charity and have fun too. The Red Nose Day held every year in June is a fundraiser.

While Americans are holding telethons and March of Dimes to help charities, the fun-loving Australians put red noses on themselves, their cars, and their pets to raise money for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It creates a holiday atmosphere that makes everyone want to participate in helping this great cause.

    I never knew there was such a day. In Canada we have red noses most of the winter .. about 4 months. :)

    This lens was a surprise as I never thought Red Nose Day was known about overseas. We also have other crazy things like jeans day, where people dress down for work, and daffodil day.

    I only knew about it from living in Alice Springs for 3 1/2 years.
    Hmm, I missed Daffodil Day.
