Westminster Dog Show will be held from May 6 to 9 this year. Every year, the New York City-based Westminster Kennel Club hosts the world’s premier dog show, the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. It is the second-oldest continuously held sporting event in the U.S., after the Kentucky Derby. Identified as the U.S. oldest dog sport organization, the Westminster Kennel Club, was founded in 1877. In addition to being the second-longest-running sports event in the U.S., the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is also the longest, continually broadcast, live dog show in the country, having been on television since 1948.
World IBD Day
World IBD Day is marked every year on May 19. It is a day dedicated to raising awareness of inflammatory bowel diseases. Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are the two most common types of IBD. They are chronic inflammatory conditions that affect our digestive tracts. The European Federation of Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis Associations (EFCCA) coordinates patient organizations representing more than 50 countries. They started the day in 2010 to support the fight against inflammatory bowel diseases, raise awareness of the diseases, and promote research and studies in the field. IBD cannot be cured. With proper treatment and medication, it is possible to significantly control inflammation and increase the period of remission.
Supply Chain Professionals Day
Supply Chain Professionals Day is celebrated every year on the third Monday of May, making May 18 the day to appreciate all the work supply chain professionals do to deliver everything we need, every day. The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (C.S.C.M.P.) launched its inaugural day in 2018 to acknowledge the services of all the people involved in the supply chain and often miss out on receiving recognition for their services. Hence this day, Supply Chain Professionals Day comes in to appreciate all the supply chain professionals and to share their accomplishments.
