August 27th – Just Because Day

Just Because Day started out as a movable holiday called Because Day. Because Day was first celebrated on the third Wednesday in May in the late 1950s or 1960s by Joseph J. Goodwin of Los Gatos, California. He wanted to gift his wife a clock…just because! Since its inception, Just Because Day has grown into a wonderful movement that encourages random acts of kindness and happy spontaneity.
