This Star Won't Go Out

💜 Esther Day is all about love, and wow, did this community bring it!

We laughed, cried, shared stories about Esther, and spent an evening celebrating love together. We’re so grateful for every single person who helped make it so special. 💜

Thank you to everyone who joined us, our amazing special guests, our moderators and volunteers, and Samantha Delosh (etsy.com/shop/SDeloshArt), who created the John and Hank Green crochet stuffies that helped us raise so much for our Star Families!

Thank you for showing up for Esther, for our Star Families, and for each other. We’re so lucky to have this community.

And, as always, tell the people you love that you love them. 💜

💜 Happy Esther Day! 💜

Today, on Esther Earl's birthday, we celebrate the beautiful tradition she inspired.

When Esther was just 16 years old, she shared a simple idea with John Green and Hank Green that has grown into a tradition celebrated around the world:

"Tell the people you love that you love them."

Every Esther Day, we celebrate love, gratitude, friendship, and the people who make our lives brighter. Whether this is your first Esther Day or you've celebrated for years, we're so glad you're here.

Join us tonight for the 6th Annual Esther Day Virtual Party with John Green, Sarah Urist Green, Nicole Sweeney, Evangeline Mojica, Lori & Wayne Earl, and an incredible community of people who believe that love is something worth saying out loud.
