Red Nose Day is officially on May 23rd, but the Brooklyn Flea Market got it going early this weekend.
The Comic Relief is a New York City nonprofit that started the highly anticipated event back in 2015. Nearly 10 years later, they have raised more than $375 million for 35 million children in the U.S and across the world.

“ We are here celebrating, and what we say is: less childhood poverty, more childhood," said Jaime Lash, Marketing Director of Comic Relief. "That's our focus. And we want to have fun doing it!"
