Absolutely Incredible Kids Day
Absolutely Incredible Kid Day®, celebrated annually on the third Thursday in March, is Camp Fire USA’s national call to action asking adults to write letters of love and support to youth – sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, neighbors, even kids they don’t know. It only takes a few minutes to jot a note that will be remembered and appreciated for a lifetime. The positive impact of these letters on kids is what Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® is all about.
Since it began in 1995, Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® has touched more than 600 million people. Supporters include national figures such as former Presidents George W. Bush and William J. Clinton; American hero, John Glenn; entertainer Bill Cosby, and sports heroes Jerry Rice and Jeff Gordon.
