Daffodil Day
Our annual Daffodil Day is here again. This year it falls on the 29th August Friday. This event is the annual flagship of New Zealand Cancer Society and it is one of the most important event for this society to raise cancer awareness and fundraising campaign in this country.
Daffodil flower is used as a symbol is because it is one of the first flowers that bloom in spring. The bright yellow colour of the flower symbolized hope for all the people effected by cancer and also reminds us the joy that the new season will bring.
From next week onwards there will be ample of volunteers roaming the streets around the country collecting donations. Some businesses will also have display boxes lying around in offices which holds fabric daffodils and cash compartment to attract donations from staffs. Merchandises are also available to purchase.

For those who love to use cell phones for absolutely anything, donation from cell phone is also acceptable - simply text "dday" to 883 to make an instant $3 donation. Texts donation can be sent from Telecom and Vodafone cell phones. Or donations can be made online here providing you have visa or mastercard.
All donations will go towards cancer research as well as providing services and supports for people who effected by cancer. Every single donations counts no matter which way you donate.
So please be generous. With your help, there is hope.
