The Siblings Day Foundation (SDF) was founded in 1995 to recognize, honor and celebrate your sibling relationships. Siblings Day (a.k.a. National Siblings Day) is a national day of recognition for brothers and sisters, to be held annually on April 10th. It also seeks to unite and reunite siblings who may have been separated by distance, by circumstance, by birth and adoption or interpersonal familial issues.
Claudia Evart, the founder of Siblings Day is a native New Yorker and resident of NYC. After losing both of her siblings, Alan (age 36) and Lisette (age 19) early in life she was inspired to create the SDF, a tax-exempt organization whose goals include the establishment of a National Siblings Day to be celebrated annually on April 10, the birthday of her late sister, Lisette. She continues to share her personal memories of her siblings to inspire others to honor their siblings on National Siblings Day and throughout the year.
In 1996, Congress stripped itself of the authority to create commemoratives; leaving sole power to do so in the hands of the President of the United States. SDF is working with President Biden's office urging him to sign a Presidential Proclamation to officially create a National Siblings Day for all Americans in 2021.
Three American Presidents Obama, Bush and Clinton; forty-nine governors (except CA) and many other public officials, especially the American public overwhelmingly recognize National Siblings Day.
SDF’s message of love and honoring one’s siblings has reached beyond our borders, as Siblings Day is now celebrated in countries, such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ghana, India, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Nigeria, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
SDF have started a new program called 2021 Siblings United designed to strengthen the bonding of siblings. The several important new initiatives include:
• Sibling-2-Sibling Support Groups – a series of interactive group sessions
held virtually with psychologists and social workers to help overcome
grief.
• The Sibling Rights Project – to protect rights of siblings within a family.
• Lost Sibling Registry - to help in reuniting siblings.
• Adopt-A-Sibling Program - to facilitate adoption of siblings.
