Evart chose April 10 for the holiday.

NEW YORK (Web Desk) - National Siblings Day, an annual April 10 celebration of brothers and sisters, was founded by a New York woman in 1995.

Claudia Evart founded the holiday in memory of her two siblings, who died at young ages in separate accidents.

Evart chose April 10 for the holiday because it was the birthday of her sister, Lisette.

Evart founded the Siblings Day Foundation, a tax-exempt organization that aims to make National Siblings Day into an official U.S. holiday.
