CENTRE COUNTY — Mother Nature might be saying it’s winter, but the American Cancer Society is helping spring come early with the return of Daffodil Days.
This colorful first flower of spring represents a campaign that brings hope to cancer patients, their caregivers and families, while providing much-needed funding to support the groundbreaking research, programs and services of the American Cancer Society.
“Cancer touches us all in one way or another,” Dan Tobin, ACS director of regional integrated marketing, shared. “By supporting the American Cancer Society through Daffodil Days, you are not only warming the hearts of others, but you are also helping the American Cancer Society to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.”
For many years, individuals, small businesses and large corporations have supported ACS through the Daffodil Days campaign by making donations for flowers that have been used to brighten the spirits of loved ones or as a way to say thank you to employees, friends and colleagues.
Based on the donation amount, different options are available, including:
- $15 donation — A bunch of 10 regular daffodils or a bunch of 10 tulips
- $20 donation — Potted mini daffodils
- $25 donation — Gift of Hope which supports the donation and delivery of flowers to patients in hospitals, treatment centers and other local facilities
Corporate donors wishing to secure large quantities for their entire office should call for options and pricing.
Orders are open through Tuesday, Feb. 18. Flowers arrive the week of Monday, March 17. For information on ordering flowers in your local community, please contact Shawn Kosior at shawn.kosior@cancer.org or call 330-617-8482.
