National Doughnut Day was established in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army to raise funds during the Great Depression and to honor the work of World War I Salvation Army volunteers who prepared doughnuts for thousands of soldiers.

As said, it’s celebrated annually on the first Friday in June. I demand this day to be celebrated around the world… everyone deserved a free donut :p
