National Step Family Day is September 16th. Christy Tusing-Borgeld is the founder and the first National Step Family Day was celebrated September 16th, 1997 almost thirteen years ago.
The goal is for all stepfamilies to rejoice in being different, and celebrate that you are a step family. This year’s day is scheduled to be on a Wednesday, so if you don’t have your entire step family with you- you may want to celebrate on another day (possibly the weekend before or the weekend after.)
National Stepfamily Day is supported by: The National Stepfamily Resource Center (NSRC) is a division of Auburn University’s Center for Children, Youth, and Families (CCYF). Dr. Francesca Adler-Baeder, Director of the Center for Children, Youth, and Families at Auburn University.
The mission of Step Family Day is – to have a strong commitment to support the stepfamilies of our nation in their mission to raise their children, create strong family structures to support the individual members of the family, instill in them a sense of responsibility to all extended family members.
