World Smile Day Oct. 7, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first Friday of October each year marks World Smile Day, a day to do one act of kindness and make someone crack a smile!<\/p>\n

The day was founded in 1999 by Harvey Ball,<\/a> creator of the now famous yellow smiley face, when he thought his logo was becoming too commercial and losing its real meaning, he organised the day to recognise that a smile knows no religion or politics and that we should all spread a little happiness. \u00a0And after all, it doesn’t take much effort to smile!<\/p>\n

When Harvey died in 2001, the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation was created not just to honour his memory but to sponsor World Smile Day<\/a>\u00a0and raise money through donations and the licensing of the smiley face for charities that often receive little recognition.<\/p>\n

Give someone a smile today. It’s the one present you’re happy to have returned!<\/p>\n
