Red Nose Day 2013 is on Friday June 28th, 2013

This year marks the 26th anniversary of Red Nose Daywith all Australians being encouraged to support the charity by simply purchasing any Red Nose Dayproduct throughout June, and to attend events being hosted across Victoria and NSW through June.

Since 1988, SIDS and Kids has helped save thousands of babies’ lives through education and community awareness programs, devoting $15 million into researching the possible causes of unexplained infant death, stillbirth, neonatal death and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

SIDS and Kids NSW and Victoria have also provided much needed bereavement support to those affected by the death of a baby or child.

Yet each year more than 3,500 families still experience the sudden and unexpected death of a baby or child from a range of causes including sleeping accidents, drowning, motor vehicle accidents, sudden onset illness, stillbirth and SIDS. More than 10,000 calls are made to the SIDS and Kids helpline for support and education every year.

SIDS and Kids NSW and Victoria are funded through the generosity of the public. The organisation receives approximately 4% government funding and relies on events like this Comedy Gala to see the organisation continue its work.

A variety of events are planned for 2013, to celebrate 26 years and continue raising much needed funds for SIDS and Kids to continue supporting bereaved families.
