Celebrating Dad: A Father’s Day Shout-Out!

13 June

Here are some fun facts about Father’s Day:

It Started With a Daughter’s Love
Father’s Day was first celebrated in 1910 in Spokane, Washington, thanks to Sonora Smart Dodd, who wanted to honor her Civil War veteran dad who raised six kids on his own.
It Took a While to Make It Official
Unlike Mother’s Day, which became official in 1914, Father’s Day wasn’t recognized as a national holiday in the U.S. until 1972—58 years later!
It’s a Global Celebration
While the U.S. celebrates Father’s Day on the third Sunday in June, other countries do it differently—like Australia (first Sunday in September) and Spain (March 19).
It’s Big Business
Americans spend over $20 billion each year on Father’s Day gifts, from gadgets and grills to golf gear and gift cards.
The Most Popular Gift?
Greeting cards! Around 87 million Father’s Day cards are sent annually in the U.S., with “Dad” jokes very much included.
