FIGHT CANCER WITH DAFFODILS: You can fight back against cancer and share hope for those facing the disease by supporting the American Cancer Society Daffodil Days. This long-standing program, which involves offering daffodils to donors every spring in appreciation for their contributions, is about more than just giving beautiful flowers; it is an opportunity to share hope for a world with less cancer and more birthdays, where cancer never steals another year from anyone’s life. For a donation of $10, everyone from school children to corporate CEOs can send a bouquet of fresh-cut daffodils to someone special to support the fight against cancer. The last day to order daffodils is February 17, 2012; daffodils will be delivered in mid March. For more information about Daffodil Days, contact Debbie Winter at 620-886-0381 or the Society, 800-359-1025.
