BANNERS: World SMILE Day

The most recognizable symbol of good will and good cheer around the world - the smiley face, was created in 1963 by commercial artist, Harvey Ball from Worcester, Massachusetts.
The smiley face knows no politics, no geography and no religion, so Harvey declared that the first Friday in October each year would henceforth be World Smile Day® (#WorldSmileDay)



The World's first World Smile Day was held in the year 1999 and has been held annually since.


The World Smile Corporation was founded by Ball in 1999. The Corporation licenses Smileys and organizes World Smile Day. World Smile Day raises money for the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation, a non-profit charitable trust that supports children's causes. World Smile Day is held on the first Friday of October each year and is a day dedicated to "good cheer and good works". The catch phrase for the day is "Do an act of kindness - help one person smile".




Happy World Smile Day!
