On behalf of Cancer Council NSW, I would like to thank the entire community for supporting someone they know affected by cancer by celebrating the 30th anniversary of Daffodil Day on Friday 26 August this year. You can view a short video we put together with help of the community by clicking here.

Across Northern NSW it is predicted that in 2016, 2551 people will be diagnosed with cancer. Cancer Council NSW is committed to reducing this burden and events such as Daffodil Day are vital to this effort.
This year the Northern NSW Region has raised over $250,000 for Daffodil Day! An incredible feat for an incredibly generous community.
Northern NSW Daffodil Day Coordinator Sarah Royall says “Funds raised on the day support projects such as Transport to Treatment, as well as accommodation facilities like Inala House in Tamworth, Our House in Lismore & Shearwater Lodge in Port Macquarie which provide a home away from home for patients & their families accessing treatment remotely”.
“Daffodil Day also plays a critical role in supporting Cancer Council’s ongoing commitment to vital research projects, advocacy & prevention programs like Eat It to Beat it, SumSmart & Tackling Tobacco” says Ms Royall.
Cancer Council NSW’s Chief Executive Officer Jim L’Estrange said, “On the 30th anniversary of Daffodil Day this year it was great to see so many of our wonderful supporters out on the streets encouraging people to buy pins and fresh daffodils to support all people across NSW affected by cancer.
“Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps Cancer Council NSW in our mission to beat cancer. As an organisation that is 97 per cent community funded, we simply couldn’t do this without the Northern NSW community and their support of events such as Daffodil Day.”
Thank you once again to all local businesses, schools, volunteers and fundraisers for your ongoing support of Cancer Council and Daffodil Day.
