Smart Dodd lost her mother when she was 16- years-old.
Smart Dodd wanted to start Father's Day celebration when she came to know about the successful celebration of Mother's Day in 1908.
She strongly believed that Father's Day should also be celebrated to give a great tribute to all fathers in the world. She requested the Spokane Ministerial Alliance to celebrate Father's Day on 5 June, which was her father's birthday. After hearing her request, the Alliance decided to celebrate Father's Day on the third Sunday in June, every year.
Initially, when Father's Day celebration began, it was not a success. Smart Dodd started promoting and raising awareness about the importance of the day in 1930. In 1972, President Richard Nixon declared third Sunday of June as Father's Day and declared it as a holiday in US.
