Invite your kids to make their laughs matter with Joke-Ha-Thon.

Red Nose Day is a campaign with the mission to end child poverty by funding programs that keep children safe, healthy, and educated. Since 2015, Red Nose Day has raised $200 million and has positively impacted nearly 25 million children in America and around the world.

Right now Hasbro is joining in for Red Nose Day's Joke-Ha-Thon: a fundraising activity where students tell and sell their best jokes in their classrooms, schools, and communities to raise life-changing cash for children living in poverty.

For this year's Joke-Ha-Thon, Hasbro is doubling all donations from schools up to $50,000. We need your help to get there!

Have a comedy show in the classroom, where students donate to tell a joke, or hold a comedy assembly and charge students to attend or participate.
