The Daffodil Campaign is taking place and you can pre-order your flowers now!
Daffodil pins will also be available at numerous businesses around Quesnel. Flower orders may be placed now until March 15 by calling The Canadian Cancer Society Quesnel Unit Office at 992-6551, through fax/e-mail or dropping by.
Delivery of flowers is March 28 to local businesses and individuals can pick up their flowers at the Quesnel unit office anytime between 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Thursday.
The fundraiser celebrates the Canadian Cancer Society’s mission to fight cancer and raise awareness.
The daffodil is one of the first flowers of spring and was chosen as a symbol of hope.
You may order daffodils for yourself or give to someone special, or even make an anonymous gift to a cancer patient.
Everyone is touched by cancer at some point in their lives.
This could be you or someone you know. Through cancer we learn what is important and what is not and we are reminded of the love and support of others.
The yellow daffodil pins help raise money for cancer research and programs, but it is also a symbol that individuals suffering from cancer are not alone.
Order your daffodils and show your support by wearing a yellow daffodil pin; we need to show those affected by cancer they are not alone and we are fighting with them.
The Canadian Cancer Society is also actively recruiting volunteers for the 2013 Daffodil Campaign in Quesnel. April is Daffodil Month and we need community involvement to ensure the Daffodil Campaign events are successful.
So, if you are interested in helping us with the campaign, stop by the office or call 250-992-6551.
The Canadian Cancer Society is a volunteer driven organization with more than 15,000 volunteers located throughout the province.
Without volunteer support, we wouldn’t be able to provide the support services and programs that we do.
Please support us by ordering daffodils and wearing a daffodil pin in support
of cancer fighters and survivors; to honour and to remember.
