As the parent or relative of a college student we wanted to make sure you know about College Day, a new holiday for College Students. College Day will be celebrated on March 5th, 2007 at colleges across the United States. Like Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, every family will celebrate this holiday in it’s own way, although many families are planning on sending a care package or present to their son or daughter in college. The College Day Team would encourage you to create your own care package as personalized gifts are the best and we have some great suggestions of what to include in a care package. Or you can check out our store and order one of these awesome care packages for your relative at college.

College can be a difficult time for many students, as they are away from home for the first time. And although a college student might never ask for a care package, getting one from home is certain to brighten their week and make this holiday a great day for college students.

The College Day Team will also be placing a special focus on a philanthropic cause each year, and this year it is depression and mental illness in the college community. Please visit this page to learn more about this issue and what you can do to help.

Please e-mail us at contact@collegeday.org if you have any questions about this holiday.

Cheers,
The College Day Team
