The challenge features 10 U.S. markets — deemed Walgreens “Red Rally Markets” for their role in helping to rally their communities to help end child poverty — going nose-to-nose in a challenge to raise the most money for the Red Nose Day cause during the eight-week campaign.
Following Red Nose Day, which takes place May 24 with a night of programming on NBC, Walgreens will announce the winner of the challenge. The victorious city will be designated as “Red Nose Day Hometown Hero” for the next 12 months.
