As February begins and winter winds down, thoughts of spring fill the air and the American Cancer Society's Daffodil Days campaign is in full swing. Pre-sales coordinators, committee chairs, and hundreds of dedicated volunteers have been hard at work for months planning the 34th annual campaign. Last year, over $3.9 million was raised in the fight against cancer in Pennsylvania, making it the number one campaign in the country. In 2007, the American Cancer Society has again partnered with Boyds(TM) Bear, producing Hugh R. Hope, the third in a series of special edition Boyds Bears designed exclusively for Daffodil Days as part of Bear and a Bunch(TM). Coming with a bunch of daffodils, Hugh R. Hope is a 12-inch plush, rust-colored bear with black eyes and wears a denim baseball cap. Funds raised from the Boyds Bear will help the American Cancer Society continue its mission in the fight against cancer through research, education, advocacy, and patient service programs in the local community. Pre-sales for Daffodil Days are currently underway. Daffodils are delivered during National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in March. The Society estimates that more than 52,000 people will die from colon cancer this year, a number that could be cut in half if Americans followed American Cancer Society screening recommendations. For more information contact your American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 or visit www.cancer.org. Daffodil Days is set for March 19-25 this year, so make sure to Give Daffodils. Give Hope. Contact your local American Cancer Society office or call 1-800-ACS-2345 to place your advance order by Friday, February 16.
