Description: An Original 1942 Franklin Delano Roosevelt Diamond Jubilee Birthday Pinback In 1934, FDR began using the occasion of his birthday (January 30) to encourage Americans to hold “Birthday Balls” to raise funds for the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, which operated the polio rehabilitation center he had established in 1927. In 1938, he created the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (which became known as the March of Dimes) to support the Warm Springs Center and aid polio victims around the nation. This pin was issued by the Foundation to celebrate the President’s Diamond Jubilee Birthday. The Diamond Jubilee Birthday Balls held in 1942 honored FDR on his 60th birthday and raised funds to combat polio.
