The American Cancer Society has launched its 2013 annual Daffodil Days campaign.
The society will be taking orders for daffodil products, launching the interactive website www.cancer.org/daffodils, and recruiting volunteers to help with the processing and delivering of the “flower of hope” in time for spring.
“We are excited by the hope and spirit that Daffodil Days brings to those who have supported the campaign year after year,” says Crystal Derocher, Daffodil Staff Partner for the American Cancer Society. “This year, we are working toward expanding that reach into each every Maine community, alerting them of the opportunities to get involved and how even a $10 dollar donation can make a tremendous difference for neighbors and friends faced with a cancer diagnosis this year,” she added.
Daffodil Days offers a bouquet of products:
—For a $10 gift, donors receive a bouquet of ten fresh daffodil blossoms.
— Three mini-daffodil bulbs in a soil filled pot are available for a $15 donation.
— A bouquet of ten daffodils and a Boyd’s collectable stuffed bear for a $25 donation.
— Gift of Hope: daffodils are delivered to a cancer patient undergoing treatment; $25 and up
— Bear Hugs for Hope: Special edition, collectable bear is delivered to a child affected by cancer; $25.
