What is National Hug & High 5 Day?

Two things that make us feel valued and loved are free. We're celebrating National Hug & High 5 Day on September 12th, which is why we celebrate National Hug & High 5 Day on September 12th.

When we celebrate a job well done, an achievement, or meeting a target, high fives from our colleagues and peers make the occasion even sweeter. And the hug – well, the hug is that little bit more, the human contact that says more than words ever could.

Hugs and high fives also help us on our journeys. We're trying to achieve our goals and understand our purpose. Life throws obstacles in our way, and we can't always see what is on the other side of the mountain. However, families and even strangers continue to help us along the way. It comes in many forms, but it is most often found in a slew of hugs and high fives.

When tragedy strikes, hugs are what hold us up when we think it's impossible, and high fives reaffirm our hope in each other, reminding us of a higher power and returning smiles to our faces.
