Daffodil Day ~ Emily Granata

The Daffodil serves as a symbol of hope for cancer patients that a cure will be found. This year, the American Cancer Society will bring these symbols of hope back through, with the Daffodil Days campaign. What better way to put a smile on the face of someone you care for and at the same time put hope in the hearts of cancer patients?

As prepare to welcome in spring, the season brings thoughts of hope, and life, and flowers. With this in mind, the American Cancer Society gives us a chance to support cancer patients in their battle to fight this disease. Starting back in the 1970’s, the Society started began the campaign, Daffodil Days, where people could donate money to send daffodils to cancer patients across the country. Almost 50 years later, the Cancer Society continues this fight.

As you see these daffodils delivered to staff and students alike, think about what their sunny yellow faces symbolize. Remember the hope that tomorrow CAN be a reality for those with cancer.
