This year marks a milestone for Daffodil Day, Friday 26 August, as the event celebrates 25 years of raising much valuable funds for cancer research.

Daffodil Day was developed to give hope for a brighter, cancer-free future. It is the largest national fundraising event of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere – Daffodil Day raises essential funds for cancer research, prevention and support services.

This year, Daffodil Day aims to raise over $9.5 million to fund the cancer control initiatives, patient support and research services of the Cancer Council’s eight state and territory member organisations. More than 10,000 volunteers are expected to staff over 1,200 Daffodil Day sites across Australia.

So, if you think one in two is too many then buy a daffodil on Friday 26 August.
