Extra Mile Day is observed each year on November 1. It celebrates people who go beyond what is expected to help others, strengthen their communities, or make a positive difference through their work and everyday actions.
How Extra Mile Day Started
Extra Mile Day is associated with the Extra Mile America campaign, which encourages individuals and communities to recognize service and generosity. The day is also connected with proclamations from local leaders who choose to mark November 1 as an occasion to celebrate people who go the extra mile.
