This year on February 28 a national holiday known as “Pink Shirt Day” occurs. Originating in Canada, this holiday was adopted by the United States in 2012 and is celebrated
The first Pink Shirt Day took place in 2007. Twelfth graders Travis Price and David Shepherd of Berwick, Nova Scotia bought 50 pink shirts after Chuck McNeill was bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school.
