The Daffodil Campaign is Marie Curie's annual flag day where donations are given in exchange for silk daffodils. We hope that we can welcome spring with the sight of yellow daffodils in coat lapels!
In 1998, we raised £1.6 million nationally by getting donations for "silk" daffodil buttonholes. In North Yorkshire we raised some £55,000. We are determined to build on this success and make Daffodil Day 1999 the biggest and best to date.
We need volunteers to help in all sorts of ways. Could you display a box of daffodils in your busy shop, sell daffodils at work or help us deliver daffodils to local outlets? Could you or your community group help to co-ordinate a street or supermarket collection or perhaps spare two to three hours in March to sell daffodils at one of our street collections.
Your help will make all the difference as all money raised will be used in Yorkshire to fund local services to cancer patients and their families. Please call Susie or June on 01904 621000.
