Cancer Council Victoria is appealing to schools around the state to turn yellow and participate in Daffodil Day on Friday August 24.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every dollar donated through Daffodil Day makes a difference to people with cancer and their families throughout Victoria by funding vital cancer research.<\/p>\n

More than 33,000 Victorians will be diagnosed with cancer in 2018, and while cancer research has made some extraordinary breakthroughs over the years, with treatments getting more successful all the time, there are still some cancers with low survival rates.<\/p>\n

Acting head of fundraising at Cancer Council Victoria, Lisa Kastaniotis, said it was important to encourage kids to get involved with Daffodil Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cEncouraging children to get involved in this iconic campaign is a fantastic opportunity to build relationships with the local community and to show support to those affected by cancer,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith one in two Australians diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, it\u2019s so important that we fund the best research available. By setting up a stall or having a free-dress for gold coin donation on Daffodil Day, schools in Victoria can really help to make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teachers are also encouraged to explain to their classes what Daffodil Day is all about and there are many tools and resources that schools can access, from colouring in sheets to planting daffodil activities and instructions for DIY daffodils.<\/p>\n

Introducing the work of Cancer Council to students will help them understand the impact of cancer and why the work in cancer research is so important. Cancer in the School Community is an information resource Cancer Council has made available to schools.<\/p>\n

The content is appropriate for all primary and secondary schools in Australia and provides guidance and practical strategies for principals, school counsellors and school staff to help their school cope with the cancer diagnosis of a student, parent or staff member.<\/p>\n
