In what year was the first National BPA Day of Service held?

• A. 2013
• B. 2014
• C. 2015
• D. 2016

Answer: (C)

National BPA Day of Service started as a nationwide push for BPA members to volunteer in their communities, and its first full observance was in 2015. This year is identified in BPA’s records as the launch of the national Day of Service, when chapters across the country organized coordinated service events and the tradition began to be annual. Earlier years didn’t mark the official national day—there were service activities, but not the formal nationwide observance—while 2016 is simply the year that followed the inaugural event. If you’re remembering a mid-2010s shift toward organized service, 2015 is the anchor year for the first national Day of Service.
