Daffodil Day 2009

Friday March 20th is Daffodil Day, the main fundraising event of the Irish Cancer Society. The Irish Cancer Society needs your help selling daffodils to raise funds for its free nationwide nursing care services. Please consider giving a few hours of your valuable time. 

Daffodil Day has been held annually since 1988 and is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Irish Cancer Society. The Irish Cancer Society is Ireland’s largest cancer charity and we are the country’s largest voluntary funder of cancer research.
