WHAT IS DAFFODIL DAY?
Daffodil Day is Cancer Council’s most iconic and much loved fundraising campaign.
It’s a chance for Australians to come together and, for all that cancer takes; give.
We all have the ability to create change in the lives of people impacted by cancer by funding cancer research..
In 2022, Daffodil Day raised around $2.5 million for lifesaving cancer research.
This year, we’re asking for your essential support once more.
Tragically, with 1 in 2 people being affected by cancer in their lifetimes, we will all be touched by this heart-breaking disease.
That’s why we’re encouraging you to give hope, by registering to fundraise for Daffodil Day, or by donating to the cause.
Daffodil Day falls on Thursday, August 31 in 2023, but you can get involved any time throughout the month.
ABOUT CANCER COUNCIL
Cancer Council is the only charity that works across every area of every cancer, from research to prevention and support.
1 in 2 Australians will be affected by cancer in their lives.
Research can reduce the impact of cancer in many ways, from early detection to revolutionary treatment options.
Thanks to donations from Australians, the Cancer Council funds more cancer research than any other non-government organisation in Australia.
The organisation directs almost $60 million dollars into research projects each year – in universities, hospitals, research institutions and at Cancer Council.
Once somebody hears the words ‘you have cancer’, their life will never be the same again, and the impact flows onto friends, family and colleagues.
That’s why the nurses at Cancer Council 13 11 20 information and support line answer the call of anyone affected by cancer.
Each year, they respond to more than 40,000 Australians seeking emotional or practical advice, and can refer callers onto a range of services that both Cancer Council and other organisations provide.
