Claudia Evart: President & Founder of Siblings Day Foundation
Claudia Evart lost two brothers at an early age. To honour her memories and find comfort after her painful loss, she founded the National Day of the brothers on April 10, the Day of her sister Lisette’s birthday.
Ms. Evart graduated from the State University of New York at Albany with a BA in Political Science and Sociology. After the tragic deaths of both siblings at young ages, Evart realized how vital and precious sibling relationships are. She continues to share her memories of her siblings to inspire others to honour their siblings on National Siblings Day and throughout the year.
I lost both of them in tragic accidents like many. I have these photographs of my brother and sister, who are both had gone, but remain with me daily. Not just in these pictures, but in my daily thoughts and in my heart, making me understand the everlasting bond we have with our siblings.- Claudia Evart
