The Daffodil Day Appeal raised almost $1.5 million for life-saving cancer research last year despite the pandemic. With the Daffodil Day Appeal being the Cancer Council’s most iconic and much-loved fundraising campaign, it raises much needed funds for cancer research.
“Cancer takes so much from all of us,” says Cancer Council Victoria’s CEO, Todd Harper AM. “It’s why this year, we’re calling on Victorians to give hope to those impacted by cancer by funding vital cancer research that is saving lives every day.”
“Every person who donates or buys daffodils this August will be helping us to continue investing in life-saving cancer research programs, giving hope for better treatments and early detection and ultimately, giving us hope for a cancer-free future.”
