February 27, 2008 — Angela

“Daffodil Days is one of the American Cancer Society’s oldest and most beloved fundraising programs. As the first flower of spring, the daffodil represents hope and renewal. To the American Cancer Society, the daffodil symbolizes the hope we all share for a future where cancer no longer threatens those we love. . . You can provide hope to all people affected by the disease by participating in the American Cancer Society Daffodil Days.”
