DAFFODIL DAYS – HOPE BLOOMS IN NEW ENGLAND

The American Cancer Society offers a unique way to acknowledge special people in your life while making a difference in the fight against cancer through its Daffodil Days® program. Bouquets of fresh-cut daffodils will be available for a donation of $10. You can also send flowers anonymously to cancer patients in the community by donating a Gift of Hope, a bouquet of 10 daffodils in a vase, for $25.  Potted plants are available for $15 and a bear delivered anonymously to a child impacted by cancer for a $25 donation.  Funds raised will help support the Society's mission of saving lives and creating more birthdays by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight.

Daffodils may also be reserved by calling your local American Cancer Society office at 800.227.2345 or online at cancer.org/daffodils. Advance orders must be placed by March 1, 2011. Delivery coincides with the start of spring, the week of March 14.
