National Grandparents Day falls each year on the first Sunday after Labor Day. It’s not a holiday invented to sell cards and flowers. It was initiated at the grassroots level by West Virginian Marian Lucille Herndon McQuade, with the behind-the-scenes support of her husband Joseph L. McQuade. They had 15 children, 43 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. After being married for over 60 years, Mr. McQuade passed away in 2001. Mrs. McQuade passed away in 2008.<\/p>\n

There are three purposes for National Grandparents Day:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    To honor grandparents.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    To give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children’s children.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    To help children become aware of the strength, information and guidance older people can offer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>","excerpt":"","slug":"grandparents-day-3","image":{"url":"https:\/\/blackriverbaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A6033641-8DDD-4FA4-929B-5ED456374B5F.png","id":577,"extension":"png","width":280,"height":300,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/blackriverbaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A6033641-8DDD-4FA4-929B-5ED456374B5F-150x150.png"},"web-stories-publisher-logo":{"width":96,"height":96,"mime-type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/blackriverbaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A6033641-8DDD-4FA4-929B-5ED456374B5F-96x96.png"},"web-stories-thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":161,"mime-type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/blackriverbaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A6033641-8DDD-4FA4-929B-5ED456374B5F-150x161.png"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2026-09-13 00:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"09","day":"13","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-09-13 23:59:59","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"09","day":"13","hour":"23","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"utc_start_date":"2026-09-13 04:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"09","day":"13","hour":"04","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-09-14 03:59:59","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"09","day":"14","hour":"03","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"timezone":"America\/New_York","timezone_abbr":"EDT","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[],"tags":[],"venue":[],"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Grandparents Day","description":"<p>National Grandparents Day falls each year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.
