Fundraising for new accommodation in Whangārei for Northland cancer patients getting treatment will be one of the aims of this year’s Daffodil Day. Daffodil Day - the largest fundraiser for the Cancer Society - is on Friday. Northland regional manager Charli Timms said with the current cost-of-living crisis , the charity would be pulling out all the stops to make it easy for people to donate, including street collections on both Friday and Saturday, accepting cash and Eftpos.
The fundraising drive has already been going for all of August, including through its major sponsors ANZ bank and NZME, publisher of the Northern Advocate . This year, 60 Northland schools - the largest number ever in the region - have signed up for Daffodil Day events, running things such as mufti days and bake sales to fundraise, Timms said..
