OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE

This February, give the gift of hope with the American Cancer Society’s 35th annual Daffodil Days program.

The Gift of Hope program gives people the chance to make a donation and have daffodils anonymously delivered to cancer patients in a local hospital or treatment facility during the month of March.

As the first flower of spring, these gifts of daffodils bring hope and beauty to those currently fighting cancer. Flowers are not delivered to a specific patient nor is the donor’s name attached. Therefore, a Gift of Hope is truly an anonymous gift of joy.

To find out how you can give the gift of hope this spring, call 1-800-ACS-2345.

The American Cancer Society has developed a new web site to recruit and retain talented volunteers and staff. Check out this month's resource highlight to find out how you can save lives and fulfill yours.
