Bubble Gum Day is a fun and engaging holiday celebrated on the first Friday of February each year. The day is dedicated to the sweet treat that has been a favorite of children and adults alike for over a century - Bubble Gum!
Bubble Gum Day was established by children's book author Ruth Spiro, who wanted to create a day for kids to have fun at school while also learning about charity. Schools participating in Bubble Gum Day allow students to chew bubble gum in class, typically in exchange for a small donation. The collected funds are then used to support school activities or donated to a charity.
