History of International Day of Awesomeness
Kevin Lawver, a CrowdStrike employee, first celebrated International Day of Awesomeness in 2008. He got the idea while working with an intern, Freddie Maneiro.
They shared the idea on Twitter (now known as X), and it quickly caught people's attention. Dan Lurie shaped the celebration later with the tagline “Because everyone needs an excuse to be awesome.”
Another inspiring line, “No one's perfect, but everyone can be awesome," was later added by Lawver’s daughter.
They chose March 10 because it is the birthday of Chuck Norris, the actor. Chuck Norris is often associated with memes and jokes about being extra tough and awesome.

Now, it is an unofficial, playful day to celebrate people and push them to recognize their talents and the good qualities in others.
