Red Hat Society Day

Red Hat Society Day is an American holiday dedicated to the women’s organization Red Hat Society. This society is for women over 50 years of age, encouraging them to let go of gloomy thoughts about aging and embrace the idea that life begins at 50! It is celebrated annually on April 25.

History

The history of Red Hat Society Day dates back to April 25, 1998, when the first meeting of the society’s representatives was held. The organization and the holiday were initiated by Sue Ellen Cooper.

The founder’s idea was to create a society where women aged 50 and older could feel free, supported, and connected with like-minded individuals. Today, the Red Hat Society (RHS) is one of the best-known women’s organizations, promoting the principles of friendship, sisterhood, mutual support, and more.

Women who have reached the age of 50 are encouraged to see this milestone as the beginning of a new chapter. With years of invaluable experience, they can now fulfill their desires and continue to grow in their chosen pursuits. It is also a great time to discover new hobbies and interests that bring joy.
