Celebrate and show your appreciation for everything your **grandparents** have done for you! National **Grandparents Day** takes place every September on the first Sunday after Labor Day, and is not only about your own grandparents, but a special time to celebrate family and the important connection between the generations. It’s a chance for learning from each others' life perspective and wisdom, and building closer connections between the generations.

**Grandparents** play such an important role in our lives! By 2030, it is estimated in the US that one in five Americans will be over 65 years old. Grandparents don’t only spoil their **grandchildren** \- today more than 4 million children are being raised by their **grandparents**, and many others live in a household with a grandparent.
