![]() ![]() GoodWorld has partnered with National High Five Day to let people send the ultimate sign of support to the causes they care about. With the advent of social media and the advances of cause marketing, social media users can give five and get five for their favorite charities with GoodWorld’s social giving tool, #donate. The idea spread and over the years people of all ages and backgrounds have celebrated National High Five Day by giving high-fives all day to friends, co-workers and strangers. The idea for making the third Thursday of April, this year its April 21, a celebration began in 2002 at the University of Virginia when a group of students set up shop on the main quad of the campus and gave out high-fives and lemonade. There are many origin stories of the high five, but the two most documented candidates are D usty Baker and Glenn Burke of the Los Angeles Dodgers professional baseball team on October 2, 1977, and Wiley Brown and Derek Smith of the Louisville Cardinals men’s college basketball team during the 1978–1979 season. Sure we had “virtual “high fives,” but cmon. The simple things are usually the best activated, and National High Five Day is returning into that category after three years lost. ![]()
