National High Five Day (15 images)

Every third Thursday in April people across America share high fives with strangers to commemorate National High Five Day. The festivity began in 2002 and looks to raise funds and awareness for important causes. This year, NH5D is benefiting Action for Healthy Kids, an organization that promotes healthy habits and academic success for children. Here's a photo collection honoring National High Five Day.
