Just 24 hours is dedicated to Cancer Society's Daffodil Day but the Hawke's Bay Racing Club is helping raise awareness for a month.
The club shut up shop yesterday to help Cancer Society volunteers decorate Hastings' iSite Visitor Information Centre. Mahora School students, who made the daffodils, also helped with the embellishment.
Hawke's Bay Cancer Society supportive care co-ordinator Pauline Farquhar said August was like Daffodil Month, peaking on August 26, the actual day. The racing club's staff helped out in the Hawke's Bay's Cancer Society office, preparing the collectible boxes and stuffing them with the silk flowers.
"It's amazing, they were so quick," Ms Farquhar said.
Having the extra help meant team members were not taking time from their day-to-day work.
