Volunteers needed for Daffodil Days

In one of the American Cancer Society's oldest community events, hundreds of volunteers will mobilize to take orders and deliver daffodils during the week of April 1 in support of the society's programs in this community.

Daffodils will be pre-sold in local businesses, schools, churches, and communities through March 15 by calling the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345. The flowers will be available for pick up April 2-5. Delivery is available for orders of $84 or more. Bunches of 10 fresh-cut daffodils are available for $7; vases for $8; and potted daffodils for $8.

A special "Gift of Hope" -- one fresh bunch of daffodils in an engraved vase - will be available for $15 and can be directly delivered to a designated local nursing home, cancer care facility or hospital in the community.

The American Cancer Society's "Daffodil Days" program raises funds for research, education, advocacy, and patient services.

The American Cancer Society is looking for individuals to be a part of this year's Daffodil Days volunteer force. Volunteers are needed to help take orders for daffodils and to deliver them. Every dollar raised goes towards fighting cancer and every bunch sold brings another step closer to a cure.
