YMCA Celebrates 100th Anniversary of Father's Day
This year, the Richmond County YMCA will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Father's Day. First celebrated in June 1910 at the Spokane YMCA in Washington, Father's Day is now recognized all over the world.
Father's Day was founded by Sonora Louis Smart Dodd, the daughter of a single father who served in the Civil War. On Mother's Day in 1909 Smart Dodd heard a sermon honoring mothers and wondered why there was no similar tribute for fathers. With the support of ministers in Spokane, Smart Dodd launched the first Father's Day celebration at the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910. President Nixon signed Father's Day into law in 1972.
The Richmond County YMCA will recognize all dads on June 18 form 6 to 10 am with a free breakfast. Dads are invited to join the YMCA on this day and pay no joiner's fee. |
