Since 2007, the governor of Illinois has proclaimed "Children's Day" on the second Sunday in June. Also, such cities as Aurora, Il.; Batavia, Il.; Fort Collins, Co.; Vancouver, WA.; and other American cities have issued proclamations.
Numerous churches and denominations currently observe the second Sunday in June, including the African Methodist Episcopal Church, African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, and the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church.
