World Smile Day is dedicated to the smiley face, which was
created by Harvey Ball in 1963. He also came up with the idea

Smile Foundation was created, with the slogan "improving the
world, one smile at a time". The foundation's goal in raising
awareness for World Smile Day is to "encourage smiles and acts
of kindness around the world."
