National Life Insurance Day is observed in the United States every May 2, commemorating the founding of the Corporation for Relief of Poor and Distressed Widows and Children of Presbyterian Ministers, the first life insurance company in the country. Established in 2014 by independent life insurance agent Liran Hirschkorn, the day aims to educate Americans about the benefits of life insurance. Celebrations typically involve reviewing life insurance policies, learning about various types of coverage, and sharing information on social media using hashtags like #LifeInsuranceDay and #NationalLifeInsuranceDay. Approximately 60% of Americans currently hold a life insurance policy, which serves to protect families from financial burdens in the event of a death. The day encourages individuals to consider their financial security and the importance of life insurance in planning for the future.
