Daffodil Day at Dalhousie

Posted by Human Resources on February 20, 2014 in Community Highlights

Help a bunch! With every bunch of daffodils purchased at Dalhousie, the Canadian Cancer Society is able to provide more services and programs, advocate for better public policy and invest in more research in the fight against cancer.

YOU ARE MAKING AN IMPACT!

Did you know…

3 bunches provides three meals to someone staying at the Lodge That Gives, a facility where Nova Scotians can stay while in Halifax undergoing cancer treatment.

14 bunches pays for one patient to stay one night at the Lodge That Gives.

14 bunches pays for a half-hour call from a Nova Scotian to the Cancer Information Service, 1-888-939-3333. This toll free line provides support to anyone who has questions about cancer, some recently diagnosed, currently undergoing treatment, or someone whose loved one has been diagnosed, or just for general information.
