For parents, caregivers, children, and families, recognizing the importance of this day serves a greater purpose — uniting a larger community. Celebrating Stand For Children Day is of the utmost importance to support children of all backgrounds and identities. We see you, support you, and are here for you. We are honored to shine a spotlight on children who this aims to acknowledge and empower. ## History of Stand For Children Created in 1996, the organization [Stand For Children](http://stand.org/) was formed with one mission in mind — to help shed light on children's struggles in the United States. One of the first engagements held to promote their cause drew a crowd of over 300,000 people. Clearly, they address an unspoken need among so many of those caring for children. Most notably, Stand For Children has raised over [$6.7 billion](https://nationaltoday.com/stand-children-day/) for investments in education to help evolve the current system. Since the 90s, June 1st has been designated as Stand For Children Day, a day led by this organization to raise awareness for children in need.

No matter where you came from, children should know that there are hundreds of thousands of people out there who are ready to go to bat for them. ## How You Can Celebrate Clearly, there’s no right or wrong way to celebrate National Stand For Children Day. It’s not as traditional as, say, more established yearly holidays. But, this provides a unique opportunity for you to put your own spin on how to honor this day and what it means to you and those around you. The beauty of Stand For Children Day is that it does not discriminate. The goal has remained the same from the beginning of both the observance and organization - to help raise awareness for the struggles faced by children everywhere. This isn’t about children of a certain class, background, or nationality - it includes all children and all of their varying obstacles.
