Funds down after Daffodil Day washout

INITIAL indications show funds being collected from street sellers around the country for Daffodil Day are significantly lower than previous years, making it unlikely that the Irish Cancer Society will reach its ambitious target of €3.4 million.

Without a successful Daffodil Day campaign, the society will struggle to continue to provide the same level of care, support and information services in 2014.

The society is appealing to those who didn’t brave the elements and buy a daffodil to do so now by giving money online at www.cancer.ie, by calling 1850 606060 or text Daff to 50300.
