July is “National Month” Calendar
How Businesses Celebrate the Month of July

By Lahle Wolfe, About.com

Many countries adopt causes or a special interest group to promote during a calendar month. The United States is particularly prolific at creating "national month" events to promote business interests.

Having a month-long observance to honor bereaving parents, screen for Hemochromatosis (iron overload disease), and promote social wellness is a great idea. But "Lasagna Awareness Month?" Is there a pasta crisis we are all ignoring?

Some events are just so silly they diminish the importance of other events. We need "National No More Silly Months."

The following events are observed calendar month-long (unless otherwise indicated):
