SUMMARY:First Annual National Sauna Week
DESCRIPTION:Sauna is the most known Finnish word in the U.S.\, within and outside of the Finnish-American community.\nFinlandia Foundation has declared the last week of February “National Sauna Week”\, to build awareness and appreciation of this aspect of Finnish and Finnish-American culture\, with activities\, online programming and a wealth of information. While many people have experienced sauna at hotels\, spas and gyms\, in the time of COVID-19\, home saunas have become popular additions. Finlandia Foundation National believes that saunas need to be celebrated! \nThe very first National Sauna Week will build awareness and appreciation of this aspect of Finnish and Finnish-American culture. Finlandia Foundation National is developing a week full of information about the history\, types\, and benefits of sauna; fun facts\, games\, quizzes\, etc.; links to sauna resources; and a week-long social media campaign with sauna info tips\, photos\, songs\, and fun facts\, and importantly\, how to pronounce “sauna.” \nGo to FinlandiaFoundation.org for information and details. Watch for local activities and programs on the FinnSource calendar and on the FACA FB page. \nYOU CAN HELP the North American Sauna Society with a brief questionnaire to learn about sauna habits and identify quality public saunas across the U.S. and Canada.
