Red Nose 19th edition in support of children

Frankie the Clown “Red Nose”, the association’s mascot, was created back in 2005 to support hospitalized children, cared for in medico-educational institutes, placed in orphanages, followed by legal protection measures in Monaco and the neighboring region.

Every year, on December 6, the day of Saint Nicholas and Patron Saint of Children, caring habitants display their Red Nose in support of children in need. The Nose, originally conceived in the form of a foam-ball, has evolved over the years in color and into smileys, in collaboration with Smiley World Ltd. And the continuous support of official partner EFG Private Banking.

This new edition of the Monegasque Day of Red Noses is scheduled on Tuesday, December 6, 2023, is again organized Under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II.

This fall, every caring soul is invited to buy their reusable bag before Tuesday, December 6, 2023.
