History

Grandparents Day was established to:

1. Honor Grandparents

2. Allow grandparents and opportunity to show love for their 
    grandchildren

3. Help Children become aware of the strength, information 
    and guidance older family members can offer.

Due to the perseverance of Marian McQuade, a West Virginia coal miner's wife and mother of 15 children, the first Grandparents Day was proclaimed in 1973 in West Virginia. In 1978, five years after its West Virginia inception, the United States Congress passed legislation proclaiming the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day. The proclamation was signed by President Jimmy Carter. (September was chosen for the holiday, to signify the "autumn years" of life.) Today this event, begun by only a few, is observed by millions throughout the United States.
