Help raise funds to aid little lives lost too soon

TRAGICALLY, six babies die everyday from stillbirth in Australia – that’s one every four hours – a statistic so shocking that Red Nose is funding projects to meet its goal to reduce stillbirth rates by 20 percent over the next few years and public support is needed more than ever.

You can support Red Nose Day this Friday, August 11, by making a donation, purchasing a red nose online or from Big W or Kmart or hosting a red-themed fundraising event (Rock the Red) at your home, school or office or remembering someone special and fundraising in their honour. You could also host a ‘Red’ movie night or bake-off and ask guests or participants to donate or dye your hair red and collect funding from sponsors.
Why not throw on some red and create your own endurance challenge or join a local event to raise funds that way?
It’s time to get silly for a serious cause.
Every fundraising event helps keep the Red Nose 24/7 bereavement support line free and available for the thousands of families in need.
Funds raised also directly benefit the community through funding vital research, safe sleeping, pregnancy education and bereavement support.
Nearly 12,000 babies have been saved in the last three decades but still more than 3,000 die every year.
Public support of Red Nose Day is critical to help stop babies dying suddenly and unexpectedly each day.
All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
