Simplicity Funerals, Kelmscott, Western Australia once again supported Daffodil Day by helping to raise money to support vital cancer research, prevention programs and support services.
This year marked the 25th Anniversary of Daffodil Day in Australia and Location Manager, Susan Service gave her time by selling pens, enamel lapel pins, diamante brooches, cancer research donation cards, new office clips, key rings, footballs, this year’s collectable ‘super-hero’ Dougal Bear, and of course bunches of fresh daffodils at the local Metro shopping centre.
In 2011 The Cancer Council will contribute around $50 million for cancer research and take around 100,000 calls on the Cancer Council Helpline. The Cancer Council will also distribute over half a million publications to inform patients, families and friends about cancer treatment. They will also provide advice on cancer prevention through a range of public education programs.
This year Daffodil Day raised over $9.5 million to fund the cancer control initiatives, patient support funds for vital research, education and support programs for patients and their families.
Well done Susan!
