National Grandparents Day was founded by Jacob Reingold and Marian McQuade. In 1961, during the White House Conference on Aging, Reingold was inspired to focus on the role of grandparents in society and he subsequently held the first Grandparents Day at his retirement home later that year. Grandparents Day was first recognized in New York, later in Virginia, and subsequently President Jimmy Carter made it a national recognition day. Grandparents Day serves to honor and recognize the contributions of grandparents in people's lives.
