Red Nose Day will celebrate its 30th anniversary on Friday 29 June, with Australia’s national carrier Qantas joining in the fight to reduce sudden and unexpected infant deaths. Qantas team members from across the business rallied together to show their support – from pilots to cabin crew, ramp staff and engineers – wearing the iconic red noses in support of Red Nose Day. The airline has joined other corporate partners to all work together to raise critical funding and awareness to save babies’ lives.
On Red Nose Day Qantas will be offering their customers the opportunity to help make a difference, when the airline hosts a Red Nose Day pop-up in Qantas Club Lounges in all five Australian capital cities on Friday 29 June. All Qantas Club guests travelling through Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth on that day will have the opportunity to purchase a red nose or other Red Nose Day item or make a donation to help save babies’ lives.
Red Nose Manager Health and Advocacy Jane Wiggill said she is excited to have Qantas on board. “We are honoured to have the support of Qantas this Red Nose Day, as Red Nose celebrates 30 years of reducing sudden and unexpected infant deaths,” said Jane. “With Australia’s biggest airline offering our volunteers access to their Qantas Clubs right across the country on Red Nose Day, we are able to reach a much greater audience with our message.”
Funds raised through Red Nose Day fundraising activities go to Red Nose’s advocacy and research programs into the causes of all sudden, unexplained and preventable childhood deaths, educating the community on safe sleeping practices, and supporting families who have been devastated by the sudden and unexpected death of a child.
