Try This: Celebrate National Doughnut Day (June 30)

Always celebrated on the last Friday in June, this “sweet” holiday offers the chance to connect with stay-at-home moms and their kids who are out of school for the summer. Promote and host a doughnut event at your church or a local park that Friday morning, providing doughnuts (and napkins). Tip: Some bakeries will give away free doughnuts for this day, too.
