The daffodil is recognised internationally as the symbol of hope for all people affected by cancer. Cancer Council chose it as our emblem as the bright yellow colouring heralds the return of spring, representing new life and growth. To Cancer Council, and those affected by cancer, the daffodil represents hope for a cancer free future. The Daffodil Day Appeal is Cancer Council’s most iconic and much-loved fundraising campaign. It is a day for Australians to come together and donate to help stop cancer. There are so many ways you can raise money. Choose an idea below or do something brand new!
