What is Underdog Day?
Underdog Day, observed on the third Friday of December, honours the people and causes that rarely get the spotlight. Coined in 2001 by Peter Thelen and Moira Feeney, the day invites everyone to look past the favourites and recognise the perseverance of those who keep going against the odds.
