The Canadian Cancer Society is impressed with the community support and generosity during the April Daffodil Month Campaign.
Canadian Cancer Society officials say 173 people supported the campaign by volunteering their time to sell daffodil pins and canvas North Bay neighbourhoods.
“Thanks to the efforts of these dedicated individuals and the generosity of community members, I am thrilled to report that we raised over $44,000 during the month of April,” stated Debbie Marson, local Canadian Cancer Society Community Fundraising Specialist.
“Money raised through Daffodil Month helps local patients and their families living with cancer, through life-saving research, support services and funds other important work so that fewer Canadians are touched by the disease.“
Marson says now the fundraising focus moves from the Daffodil fundraising to Relay for Life events.
“I encourage people to register for a relay near them at relayforlife.ca,” said Marson.
