The American Child Health Association (ACHA)—an organization founded by Herbert Hoover in 1923 with the merging of the American Child Hygiene Association and the Child Health Organization—began Child Health Day in 1924. The American Child Health Association closed in 1935. During its 12 years of existence, it raised about $5 million for child-focused community services.
