Support on offer to host your own fundraiser to join fight to stop killer

The best part is you’ll be contributing towards live-saving cancer research.
Thanks to investment in research, amazing advancements have been made in cancer prevention, screening and treatment – helping to increase survival rates from 49 per cent in the 1980s to 69 per cent today.
But there’s still a long way to go.
With an estimated 145,000 new cases of cancer diagnosed in Australia this year – and that number set to increase to 150,000 by 2020 – the Cancer Council needs your help this Daffodil Day to ensure cancer research can continue and help save more lives.
How you can save lives this Daffodil Day:
• Sell daffodils – Contact your local Cancer Council office to order your fresh flowers, they’ll deliver them to your door free of charge and you can sell them at $10 a bunch to raise funds. A big bonus is that every bunch you sell is tax deductible.
• Host a yellow dress day – Encourage your guests or colleagues to wear yellow and make a donation at your next get-together. Hold a best-dressed competition or make a rule that anyone who doesn’t wear yellow has to donate extra.
• Hold a yellow morning or afternoon tea – make some yellow goodies, put on some tea, and charge an entry fee.
• Run a yellow themed raffle – Ask local businesses to donate some items and use them as a raffle prize. You’ll be surprised how quickly your tickets will sell.
• DIY – Got another yellow idea? Go for it.
