Become a Daffodil Day collector
Thousands of volunteers throughout Auckland and Northland hit the streets on Daffodil Day collecting donations from the public. Enthusiasm, time (as little or as much as you can spare), and a desire to help, are the only qualifications you need. If you are interested in getting involved please complete the attached Volunteer Collector Form and we will contact you by return. Alternatively, you could phone Maureen on (09) 308 0240 to discuss how you can help as a Daffodil Day volunteer.

Buy fresh flowers for your Company
To show your support for the valuable work of the Cancer Society, why not order 5, 10, 15 or 20 bunches of fresh daffodils to brighten your office during Daffodil Day week. You may even like to order bunches of daffodils and arrange for us to deliver them to your valued customers in and around the Auckland metropolitan area and Whangarei. With the generous help of hundreds of enthusiastic volunteers we will deliver thousands of fresh daffodils on the Monday prior to Daffodil Day.
