Description

Daffodil Month
• April is Daffodil Month, a time for Canadians to unite and fight back against cancer.
• The daffodil is the Canadian Cancer Society’s symbol of hope and courage.
• Daffodil Month kicks off with Daffodil Days, running from March 28 to April 2, and ends with Daffodil Day on April 27, 2011.
• New this year is our daffodil pin – worn as a symbol of support. We’re asking Canadians to join the fight against cancer by wearing their daffodil pin throughout the month of April and, most importantly, on Daffodil Day.
• Daffodil pins are available for a suggested minimum donation of $1 at locations throughout the community.

Daffodil Days
• Daffodil Days takes place March 28 to April 2 in communities across Alberta and the Northwest Territories this year, kicking off Daffodil Month in April.
• During Daffodil Days, volunteers will be selling daffodils for only $6 a bunch.
• Last year, more than $525,000 was raised through Daffodil Days.
• Money raised through the sale of daffodils funds the most promising cancer research, community support services for people living with cancer, comprehensive cancer information, prevention initiatives, and advocacy for healthy public policies.

Daffodil Day
• April 27, 2011 is Daffodil Day, a day to show your support for the fight against cancer.
• By making a donation and wearing a daffodil pin, you’ll be letting people with cancer know they are not alone on their journey.
• 400,000 daffodil pins will be distributed throughout Alberta and the Northwest Territories this April
