NEW
YORK—January 10, 2017—Melanie Notkin, founder of Savvy
Auntie, the multi-platform lifestyle brand designed for cool aunt,
great-aunts, godmothers and all women who love kids and and national
bestselling author of
SAVVY AUNTIE: The Ultimate Guide for
Cool Aunts, Great-Aunts, Godmothers and All Women Who Love
Kids (Morrow 2011) announces the date for the ninth annual
national day dedicated to honoring and celebrating aunts and godmothers.
Auntie’s Day will take place on Sunday, July 23, 2017. Like all
official national days of recognition, Auntie’s Day is listed in Chase’s
Calendar of Events.
Established by Melanie Notkin in 2009,
Auntie’s Day is a time to thank, honor and celebrate the aunt in a
child’s life, whether she is an Auntie by Relation (ABR), Auntie by
Choice (ABC), godmother, for any woman who loves a child not-her-own.
While all aunts are celebrated on this day, the day is especially
poignant to one in five American women who identify as PANKs®, or
Professional Aunts No Kids. PANKs self-identify as childless or
childfree and have a bond with at least one child by relation or by
friendship. A study called The Power of the PANK released in November
2012 by Savvy Auntie and Weber Shandwick, a global PR firm, with KRC
Research, revealed that childless aunts are a sizeable segment of
younger women with disposable income, dynamic influence, and a
digitally-connected lifestyle who are extraordinarily generous with the
children in their lives, those children’s parents, and our communities
at large. 23 million American women are PANKs and are found to
collectively spend $9 billion on gifts for children not-their-own each
year.
On Auntie’s Day – a “Mother’s Day” for aunts - aunts and
godmothers will be celebrated with special activities and gifts. The
official Auntie’s Day web destination (
http://AuntiesDay.com) will
feature ideas on how parents and nieces and nephews can celebrate the
Savvy Auntie in their lives and how aunts can pamper and treat
themselves on their special day.
“It’s time that all women in the
American Family Village are honored for their selfless giving to the
children in their lives,” says Melanie Notkin. “An aunt is there to
provide ‘QualAuntie Time’ and experiences as a loving caregiver and
“ConfidAunt” to her nieces and nephews from the day they are born and as
they grow up. Many women without children of their own also give
tirelessly to children all over the world. These BenevolAunts are due
their day to be honored.”

- Aunthood Is a Gift. This Day Is Yours.-
NEW YORK—March 07, 2016—Melanie Notkin, founder of Savvy Auntie®, the multi-platform lifestyle brand designed for cool aunt, great-aunts, godmothers and all women who love kids and and national bestselling author of "SAVVY AUNTIE: The Ultimate Guide for Cool Aunts, Great-Aunts, Godmothers and All Women Who Love Kids," announces the date for the eighth annual official national day dedicated to honoring and celebrating aunts and godmothers.

Established by Melanie Notkin in 2009, and observed every fourth Sunday in July, Auntie’s Day is a day to acknowledge, honor and celebrate the aunt(s) in a child’s life. These are Aunts by Relation (ABR), Aunts by Choice (ABC), godmothers, and all women who love children not-their-own. While all aunts are celebrated on this day, it is especially poignant to the one-in-five North American women who identify as PANKs®, or Professional Aunts No Kids, as coined by Notkin in 2008. PANKs self-identify as childless, or childfree by choice, and have a special bond with at least one child in their life.
A 2012 joint-study entitled "The Power of the PANK" by Savvy Auntie, Weber Shandwick and KRC Research, revealed that childless aunts are a sizable segment of younger women with disposable income, dynamic influence, and a digitally-connected lifestyle who are extraordinarily generous with the children in their lives, those children’s parents, and our communities at large. Numbering 23 million North American women, PANKs collectively spend $9 billion on gifts for children not-their-own each year, baseline just one niece or nephew per aunt.
On Auntie’s Day – a “Mother’s Day” for aunts - aunts and godmothers will be celebrated with special activities and gifts. The official Auntie’s Day web destination (http://AuntiesDay.com) features ideas on how parents and nieces and nephews can celebrate the Savvy Auntie in their lives and how aunts can pamper and treat themselves on this special day. The official slogan is: "Aunthood Is a Gift. This Day Is Yours".
“It’s time that all women in the American Family Village are honored for their selfless giving to the children in their lives,” says Melanie Notkin. “An aunt is there to provide ‘QualAuntie Time’ and experiences as a loving caregiver and 'ConfidAunt' to her nieces and nephews from the day they are born and as they grow up. Many women without children of their own also give tirelessly to children all over the world. These 'BenevolAunts' are due their day to be honored.”
