American Cancer Society Taking Orders for Daffodil Days

Yellow cheers on hope

During American Cancer Society’s Daffodil Days, the organization’s oldest and best-loved fundraiser, every bouquet you order will cheer on courageous cancer patients and support the research to find a cure for cancer. With a burst of yellow in the darkness of winter, compassionate people and companies say there is hope and community support for people with cancer.

In addition, the gift of flowers will brighten the days, desks, and dinner tables of your friends, customers, and employees.

Proceeds from the flower sales fund the Society’s mission to eliminate cancer as a major health problem through research, education, advocacy, and patient service programs. The Society offers free programs and services that save lives by helping people stay well, get well, find a cure, and battle the disease.
