Daffodil Month

Wear a daffodil pin and show your support for people living with cancer.


Every 3 minutes another Canadian is faced with fighting cancer. Throughout April, volunteers across Canada will be working together to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.


There are many ways to join the fight against cancer this April:

  • Wear a daffodil pin for a donation.
  • Make a donation when a volunteer knocks on your door.
  • Volunteer as little as 3 hours of your time.
  • Spread the word.

Show support and make a difference in your own way – no matter how big or small.


Visit fightback.ca to find out where to get your daffodil pin and for information about Daffodil Month activities in communities throughout Canada.

 

Distribution of fresh flowers

As in previous years, the Society is distributing cut fresh daffodils through pre-orders by donation in communities in BC and the Yukon during the last week of March and beginning of April..

Daffodil pin distribution

Businesses are invited to contact us about helping with the distribution of the pins in local communities. Please contact Deanna Salituro at 250.762.6381 ext. 105, toll free at 1.800.403.8222, or by email at dsalituro@bc.cancer.ca.

Door-to-Door residential canvass

Please give generously when a Canadian Cancer Society volunteer comes to your door in your neighborhood during April wearing a bright yellow daffodil pin.

You can identify official volunteers by a distinctive yellow and blue name tag. All canvassers carry an official receipt book clearly labelled with a Canadian Cancer Society logo.

The volunteer will provide a receipt with a charitable tax number, the yellow and blue daffodil logo and name, Canadian Cancer Society.
If you are not home when a volunteers calls please consider a gift in the donation envelope.

Volunteering

Volunteers are needed to assist with all Daffodil Campaign activities. Visit the Volunteer Online Centre or contact your local Canadian Cancer Society office.

If you have some time to spare during April, please consider becoming a door- to door volunteer in your neighborhood. Training is provided with online resources, a kit, and in person by staff and community volunteers.
