American Cancer Society Daffodil Days

STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF ENCOURAGED TO GET INVOLVED IN THE
AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY DAFFODIL DAYS OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – For 35 years, the American Cancer Society has been making a difference in the fight against cancer and providing hope for those facing the disease through its Daffodil Days program. Although Daffodil Days involves offering daffodils every spring to donors in appreciation for their contributions, it is about more than just giving beautiful flowers – it is everyone’s opportunity to share hope for a world free of cancer.

Daffodil Days 2008 is coming to Indiana University the week of March 24, immediately following spring break. The American Cancer Society is looking for volunteers – anyone from students to faculty and staff – to assist in taking daffodil requests during January and February and packing and delivering daffodils during March. To help make a difference in the fight against cancer through Daffodil Days, contact Committee Chair Mary Ann Miller at 855.3810 or mamiller@indiana.edu.

Initial order deadline is Feb. 8, but requests can still be placed until March 14. For a minimal donation, supporters will receive a bunch of fresh-cut daffodils and, more importantly, the knowledge that they are helping defeat cancer. A bunch of 10 fresh-cut daffodils will be available for a donation of $10 or $15 for a bunch and a glass vase. Also available is the Gift of Hope for a donation of $25, which provides a bouquet of flowers anonymously delivered to a cancer patient in the area.

Dollars raised through Daffodil Days enable the Society to offer free programs and services that help people fight cancer with courage and optimism, while providing physical and emotional support and financial information to ease the cancer experience. Additionally, daffodil contributions provide the Society with much-needed dollars to fund groundbreaking cancer research, which happens right here at Indiana University, and by educating people about the importance of cancer prevention and early detection and advocate for meaningful public health policies that benefit the community.

To volunteer for Daffodil Days 2008 or to place your order, please contact Mary Ann Miller at 855.3810 or mamiller@indiana.edu.
