Red Nose Day fundraising efforts on June 30 2017 are expected to surpass 2016 results by close to 10% – having raised an anticipated $1.1 million nationally.
 
Red Nose says the milestone is largely due to support from the Australian public, along with that of Red Nose Day’s major partners this year including radio networks and stations, making a significant impact in helping reduce the deaths of nine children a day to zero.

Following a successful partnership in 2016, this year Red Nose reunited with ARN, and its digital entertainment platform, iHeartRadio along with Little Rockers Radio – utilising their media channels to create a dedicated Red Nose Day radio station and further strengthen the reach of Red Nose Day’s message and fundraising potential across the country.
 
Celebrity supporters for Red Nose Day this year included ARN on-air talent Kyle & Jackie O, Hughesy & Kate (pictured), Jonesy & Amanda, Jo & Lehmo, Monty, Yumi Stynes & Bec Judd, Bianca, Terry & Bob and Carmen & Fitzi.

 
Rob Atkinson, CEO of ARN says: “We are proud to have worked alongside Red Nose on their Red Nose Day campaign for the second year running.
 
“The result of the campaign this year is inspiring. We respect Red Nose’s work whole-heartedly and are honoured to be able to use our network across the country to help them in their mission to save children’s lives.”
Kate Thiedeman, Target Community Manager says: “Target have been a proud supporter of Red Nose Day for the past nine years. It’s incredibly rewarding to be involved with our customers and get behind such an important cause.”
