Daffodil Day, the Cancer Society's annual flagship event, is one of the most important fundraising and awareness campaigns in the country. The campaign lasts a month, always in August, and culminates in the street collection on the last Friday.
Since 1990, the iconic event has inspired people from across
the country to come together and support the Society's work. As well as providing an opportunity to raise awareness of the impact of cancer in New Zealand, Daffodil Day is the main funding source for the Cancer Society.
The Cancer Society uses the daffodil as its symbol because it is one of the first flowers of spring. The bright yellow blooms remind us of the joys the new season will bring. It also represents the hope there is for the one in three New Zealanders affected by cancer.
ANZ is the principal national sponsor of Daffodil Day and a major sponsor of the Cancer Society. The funds collected by ANZ staff are allocated directly to their local Cancer Society to help those in that community affected by cancer.
