With our Great Give-Back Birthday underway, our team has been doing a lot of IMPORTANT research around birthdays. We thought we’d share some of our ‘highly-classified’ findings:
- More people celebrate their birthdays in August than in any other month (about 9% of all people). The two other months that rate high for birthdays are July and September.
- Close to 2 billion Birthday Cards are sent each year in the U.S. alone, accounting for nearly 58 percent of all cards sent.
- The world’s largest birthday cake was created in 2005 for Las Vegas’ centennial. 30,000 half-sheet cakes and nearly 40,000 pounds of frosting later, they had the World’s largest birthday cake!
- A recent survey suggests that more people are born on October 5 in the United States than any other day. The least common birth date in the U.S. is May 22nd.
and… a bit of a strange one…
- Since your last birthday 31,536,000 seconds have passed.
No matter how many seconds have passed since your last birthday, it’s never too early (or late) to sign up to be a part of the most inspiring online donation celebration, our Great Give-Back Birthday!
In case you were curious, here’s a picture of the infamous Las Vegas cake:
