About the Holiday

The daffodil is the international symbol of hope for all touched by cancer. Daffodil Day was first held by the Canadian Cancer Society in the early 1980s, but in 1992, it was established as an Australia-wide event, and has since become the largest fundraising event of its kind in the southern hemisphere. Daffodil Day in the U.S. is not as well-known or organized as it is down-under; however, it remains a day for everyone to give hope for a brighter, cancer-free future.
