02/18/13 For more than 35 years, the American Cancer Society Daffodil Days® program has been making a difference in the fight against cancer and providing hope for those facing the disease. Although Daffodil Days involves offering daffodils to donors every spring in appreciation for their contributions, it is about more than just giving beautiful flowers; it is an opportunity to share hope for a world with less cancer and more birthdays, where cancer never steals another year from anyone’s life.
This year’s Daffodil Days is coming to Marshall County on Wednesday, March 20th.The American Cancer Society is looking for volunteers– anyone from school children to corporate CEOs – to assist in taking requests for, packing and delivering daffodils during February and March at work, in neighborhoods, in schools, and around town. To help make a difference in the fight against cancer through Daffodil Days, contact your American Cancer Society office at 574.257.9789 opt. 3 or DaffodilsNorthwestIndiana@cancer.org.
Individuals/Businesses have until March 8th to place requests for daffodils. For a donation of $10 ($15 with vase), supporters will receive a bouquet of fresh-cut daffodils and, more importantly, the knowledge that they are helping fight cancer. Orders will be available on Wednesday, March 20th, 2013. A minimum order of $100 is required for delivery. All other orders can be picked up at the following locations: St. Joseph Regional Medical Center (1915 Lake Avenue-Plymouth) and Community Hospital of Bremen (1020 High Road-Bremen) from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
