National Wildlife Day was created by animal behaviorist Colleen Paige — also the founder of National Dog Day and National Cat Day — to honor Steve Irwin and to raise awareness for endangered species worldwide. Janmashtami is the Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna — the eighth avatar of Vishnu — observed on the eighth day of the dark fortnight of Bhadrapada, with midnight celebrations, fasting, and the Dahi Handi tradition of forming human pyramids to break a pot of curd. College Colors Day is observed on the first Friday of September to celebrate college sports fandom by wearing school colors — a tradition driven by the NCAA and collegiate licensing programs. National Doodle Day celebrates the idle drawings and margin sketches that research at the University of Plymouth found improve concentration and memory retention by up to 29 percent compared to simply listening.
