Presidential Birthdays Through the Ages

The White House South Lawn is set to host UFC Freedom 250 on June 14th — a $60 million spectacle featuring seven fights, including two title bouts, timed to celebrate America’s 250th birthday and coinciding with President Trump’s 80th. Despite a lawsuit, the event moves forward. But how have past presidents marked their birthdays? FDR turned his into polio fundraisers, hosting glamorous galas with Einstein in attendance. JFK threw a Madison Square Garden bash in 1962, complete with Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe’s iconic performance. Obama, meanwhile, played hoops with NBA legends for troops and mentors — hitting threes and throwing alley-oops. Each celebration reveals something unique about the president and their era.
