AFAIK, no we don't.

>Or at least a phrase that gets pretty close?

The closest I can think of is just {qoS} "birthday"; perhaps {wanI' qoS} 
"the event's birthday" which is VERY unsatisfactory.  We don't even have a 
word for "date" for that matter, just {jaj} "day".

What are you trying to say?  If it's something like "We're celebrating our 
10th wedding anniversary today" you may be best off rephrasing:

   DaHjaj malop; wa'maH ben qaSpu' tlhoghmaj
   We're celebrating today; our marriage occurred 10 years ago

   DaHjaj jIlop; wa'maH ben be'nalwI' vISawta'
   I'm celebrating today; I married my wife 10 years ago

etc.
