National Doughnut Day was established in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army to raise much-needed funds during the Great Depression and to honor the work of World War I Salvation Army volunteers who prepared doughnuts for thousands of soldiers. National Doughnut Day is celebrated annually on the first Friday in June.
"National Doughnut Day is a perfect time for us to give a little something back to our loyal customers throughout the country," said Stan Parker, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Krispy Kreme. "It's also a great opportunity to build awareness and acknowledge the continued good work of the Salvation Army."

heh, weird.
We do have some pretty dumb holidays. There's a few big ones I could mention but I'd probably get my butt kicked, so I'll keep my mouth shut!
I never knew there was a holiday for this. That's nutty.
Yeah, North Carolinians can be pretty non-health conscious. Not everyone, mind you, but a majority still love their doughnuts, coffee, eggs, bacon and grits. Calories, what the heck are those??
Yeah, glad that I moved to Cali where I don't look like a freak ordering egg-white veggie omelets.
The irony is that we get Krispy Kreme every Friday here at work.
Except today.
(The person who usually brings them was in a major car accident... but she was OK, thankfully.)
WOW! I missed doughnut day. Since I live in NC, I am usually around for it, but I'm in Virginia and the area that I am in does not have Krispy Kreme. KK is the BEST doughnuts in the world.
*~*God Bless*~*
i guess that's one of the signs a of an affluent society, no?
wow do you actually have a holiday on doughnut day?
