Daffodil Day is the Cancer Society's annual flagship event and one of the most important fundraising and awareness campaigns in the country.
As well as providing an opportunity to raise awareness of cancer in New Zealand, Daffodil Day isa major funding source for the Cancer Society. The National Bank has been the Principal Sponsor since the first Daffodil Day. The Cancer Society is proud to be regarded as one of the country's most trusted charities and this is reflected in our fundraising practices.
The daffodil is one of the first flowers of spring, whose bright yellow blooms remind us of the joys the new season will bring. It represents the hope there is for the 1 in 3 New Zealanders affected by cancer.
The donations received will go towards vital scientific research into the causes and treatment of all types of cancer, as well as providing a wide range of support services, information, health promotion and education programmes to reduce cancer risk, awareness campaigns and programmes for people affected by cancer.
