American Cancer Society presents Daffodil Days Give daffodils, give hope

Daffodil Days is an opportunity to help find a cure for cancer and save lives. Dollars spent on Daffodil Days support the American Cancer Society's groundbreaking research, education, early detection efforts, advocacy, and patient services.

Daffodils are one of the first flowers of spring. This beautiful yellow bloom has come to symbolize hope for cancer patients and their loved ones for renewed life and a cancer-free world.

The most unique component of Daffodil Days, Gifts of Hope and Bear of Hope are donations made tot he American Cancer Society that support their mission to eradicate cancer and allow the Society to deliver bouquets of daffodils or bears anonymously to cancer patients in your community.More than 5,000 California corporations, businesses, hospitals, schools, religious and community organizations help the American Cancer Society raise much needed funds by operating this simple campaign. The campaign is conducted in January and February. Flowers are delivered in March. The deadline to order Daffodils is Thursday, Feb. 25. Call Pauline Fudge at 665-3302 for more information. Daffodil orders will be delivered Mar. 24.
