Aside from Administrative Assistant’s Day and Boss’s Day there is one more “made-up holiday” I think we can all be excited about: National Doughnut Day.
National Doughnut Day started in 1938 as a fund raiser for the
Chicago Salvation Army. Their goal was to help the needy during the Great Depression, and to honor the Salvation Army “Lassies” of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers behind the front lines in France.
Next to Christmas, this might be the best holiday out there. Why you ask? Because this year on National Doughnut Day, Friday June 5th, Dunkin Donuts will be giving out free doughnuts nationwide (with the purchase of any beverage).
Dunkin has some of the best coffee out there and now on Friday you can buy a coffee and get a doughnut for free. My all time favorite doughnut is glazed with strawberry icing……so amazing.
Finally, a holiday that the whole country can benefit from. Long live National Doughnut Day!
