Daffodil Days

From the Office of Community Service…
For several years, the Office of Community Service at Wesleyan has been supporting cancer patients around the country by hosting Daffodil Days. Every March, American Cancer Society staff and volunteers around the country welcome spring with millions of dewy-fresh yellow daffodils from Washington State. The daffodil is the first flower of spring, so it was chosen by the American Cancer Society to be the symbol of hope that cancer will be beaten.
You can support the American Cancer Society’s programs of research, education, advocacy and patient services by placing an order today for big, beautiful daffodils, potted bulbs, or a Bear and Bunch – a bouquet of daffodils plus a limited edition, collectible Boyds Bear. A bouquet is just $10, potted bulbs are $15 per pot, and a Bear and a Bunch is $25. If you prefer, you can purchase a $25 Gift of Hope (or contribute any dollar amount towards one), which will support the fight against cancer while giving bouquets of daffodils to cancer patients in our community.
Place an order today! You can e-mail mtimbancaya@wesleyan.edu or call 860-685-2851 to order or for more details. We will also be tabling at Usdan Center on the following dates: February 19-20, 23-25 during lunch and dinner times.
