History of World Smile Day
World Smile Day was initiated by Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts, known for creating the iconic smiley face symbol in 1963. Harvey Ball believed that his creation had become too commercialized and wanted to devote a day to genuine smiles and acts of kindness.
The first World Smile Day was celebrated in 1999, and it has since become an annual tradition. The Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation continues to promote the message of spreading smiles and kindness worldwide.
