M ark your calendar in yellow highlighter: Friday, 26 August is this
year’s Daffodil Day, the Cancer Society’s annual flagship event.
This touch of sunshine helps raise awareness of cancer in NZ,
and it is a major funding source for the Cancer Society.
Cancer Support Groups around the Coromandel will have
volunteers at many points to collect donations in
exchange for lovely fresh daffodils and daffodil pins. Keep
an eye out for key locations in Tairua, Pauanui, Whitianga,
Matarangi, Kuaotunu, Cooks Beach and Hahei. Some will
offer baked items and jams as well.
There are many ways to participate as a volunteer, and
businesses can order flowers in bulk for display or corporate gifts.
Want to help now? Text “Hope” to 469 to make a $3 donation.
Find the latest info on FB at Daffodil Day – Cancer Society of New
Zealand, or visit
Volunteers Diana Avery and Celia Morrison of Tairua help raise funds
for the Cancer Society. Ten fresh daffodils for a $5 donation, but they
go fast! They also will be selling donated baked goods and jams to
further support the local group and the Friendship van, which transports
patients to medical appointments.
Grab a
bunch!
It’s . . .
