MARCH 21

Reclaiming National Single Parent Day

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan declared March 21 as National Single Parent Day, recognizing single parents as heroes who love fiercely and give selflessly.

Nearly 40 years later, most people don’t even know this day exists.

It’s time to change that. Follow us on Instagram to get involved and help us honor the 23 million kids growing up in single-parent homes, and the parents who do it all.
