Daffodil Day is next Thursday, 22nd August.
Cancer Council’s much loved and most iconic national fundraiser, Daffodil Day will take place on Thursday 22nd August. Now in its 38th year, this celebrated event urges Australians to buy a bunch of daffodils to support life-changing cancer research.
Daffodil Day has long been a beacon of hope for people affected by cancer, symbolising resilience, hope and the promise of a brighter future. Daffodil Day raises vital funds and awareness about the importance of ongoing cancer research and support for individuals and families impacted by cancer.
This year’s goal is to raise more than $2.6 million across Australia. Beautiful daffodils are on sale at Cancer Council pop-up stalls around the country on Daffodil Day and donations can be made online.
“With almost one in two people heartbreakingly impacted by cancer during their lifetime, it is essential we continue to invest in life-saving cancer research,” Cancer Council’s Head of Fundraising, Lyrian Fleming-Parsley said.
“For all cancer takes, we encourage everyone to give all they can this Daffodil Day.
Thanks to our amazing supporters, we’ve made huge strides in cancer prevention, screening and treatment over the past 38 years – but there’s still a long way to go.”
