If you like giving flowers, or receiving flowers and you think the one in two people who get cancer is one too many, then this August Cancer Council SA is asking you to buy a fresh daffodil for  Daffodil Day.

This year Daffodil Day will be held on Friday 27 August.

Cancer remains one of Australia’s biggest health problems and is expected to claim the lives of more than 3,400 South Australians in 2010 (more than 43,000 Australians nationally).

This August, you can also help us beat cancer by purchasing a Daffodil Day gift, such as a daffodil pin (ranging from $5-$50), branded pen ($5), mini soccer ball ($7), sparkling diamante pin ($10), cuddly Dougal Bear ($10), key ring ($7) or a branded USB ($20).

Funds raised through Daffodil Day support cancer research, prevention and support services for cancer patients and their families.

Merchandise will be on sale at volunteer sites or throughout August at these supporting outlets: Coles (including Bi-Lo and Pick & Pay), Millers, Rockmans, BeMe, ANZ, Crossroads, Mobil Quix, and Autograph stores.

Why not also pick up a fresh bunch of daffodils at Coles during August, or purchase a Daffodil Day reusable shopping bag at Coles Supermarkets?

You can also register to join the thousands of South Australians who volunteer to help sell Daffodil Day merchandise and flowers in their local community.  Simply visit www.daffodilday.com.au or call 1300 65 65 85 for more information.
So if yellow makes you happy and you think that we should all help in the effort to beat cancer, then please buy a daffodil on Daffodil Day.
