"Flowers of Hope" Fundraiser
Benefits Cancer PatientsYellow daffodils have been designated as "the flower of hope" by the American Cancer Society. They symbolize the belief that cancer research and education can provide answers that will help eliminate cancer.
On March 24 and 25, the Department of Human Resources sponsored campus "Daffodil Days," selling 10 daffodils for $5.00 and daffodils in a vase for $10.00. Proceeds support services for cancer patients, including free transportation to and from cancer treatments, mammography outreach, free skin cancer treatments, cancer prevention curricula for schools, and free goods and services, such as wigs, prostheses, and home care.
