Daffodil Month Paint Your Workplace Yellow

To some the daffodil is just a flower. For us, it is a symbol of strength and courage. It says we will not give up. It says we will fight against cancer and we will win. Funds raised through Daffodil Month help cancer patients and their families by funding life-saving cancer research and support programs so that more Canadians survive and no one has to face cancer alone. Why the daffodil?

With your support, last year: We funded $21.3 million in life-saving research that is transforming the way cancer is prevented, diagnosed, and treated. Our volunteers drove 15,600 cancer patients on 197,000 trips to life-saving treatment appointments through the Wheels of Hope Transportation program. Our Cancer Information Service empowered 24,598 cancer patients with the information they need to better understand their diagnosis Snapshot: where the money goes Workplace fundraising plays a powerful role in every aspect of the Society.
