April 12 - National For Twelves Day


Happy National For Twelves Day! On April 12, (4/12), the nation will honor a magnificent number that holds significance in several ways. 

We measure our days in two twelve hour sets. When we buy roses, eggs, and pastries, we purchase them by the dozen. How many months are in a year? Twelve. Of course, math lovers appreciate 12 because it has a perfect number of divisors. 

Sports fans remember all the great athletes in every sport who have worn that fabulous number. For example, Terry Bradshaw, John Stockton, Jim Kelly, Dwight Howard, and Joe Namath come to mind. 

And football fans wear the number to represent themselves as the twelfth member of their favorite team. These vital members of the football team support players on and off the field.  

Especially integral to the success of the players and the teams, the celebration focuses on the fans who inspire their teams to be at their best every day. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Honor the grand number twelve by posting a picture of a dozen things! 

  • • Roses, carton of eggs, or even a listicle of the twelve steps you’ll take to reach your New Year’s goals. 
  • • Posting a picture wearing your favorite athlete’s 12 jersey! 
  • • Taking pictures of the number twelve when you see it. 
Twelve is such a sublime number. National Day Calendar® does, after all, Celebrate Every Day®. #412 will be an official day to celebrate it! Use #NationalForTwelvesDay or #412 to share on social media. 

HISTORY 

In 2019, the Honolulu Sea Hawkers founded National For Twelves Day to celebrate the 12s on a football team – the fans! Their loyalty and support inspire players all season long – #NationalForTwelvesDay is dedicated to all the fans. 

The Registrar at National Day Calendar® proclaimed National For Twelves Day to be observed annually on April 12.
