Editor,
Each year volunteers in the Portland area work to make the American Cancer Society’s Daffodil Days a great success! On behalf of the American Cancer Society I would like to thank the many local individuals, businesses, and organizations for their eagerness to help.
More than 2,800 bouquets of daffodils, 170 Gifts of Hope, and 150 Bear and a Bunch sets were sold, and over $28,000 was raised to improve the quality of life for cancer patients and their families right here in our community. Once again, Hannaford stores generously supported the campaign by selling bouquets of daffodils and donating all of the proceeds to the American Cancer Society.
Daffodil Days, like many of the Society’s fund raising campaigns, is volunteer-driven. During Daffodil Days volunteers prepared, delivered, and purchased bouquets. Every volunteer was dedicated to helping support the American Cancer Society’s vital research, education, advocacy, and patient programs and services. Thanks again to everyone! I hope to see you during Daffodil Days 2007!
Sincerely,
Jeff Ball
Community Executive for Cumberland County
