At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
Daffodil Day is observed in the USA, but other similar cancer-based events are held in Canada, Australia, and Ireland on different dates.
Daffodil Day is observed by cancer patients, their families and friends, those tied to cancer research, doctors, nurses, and cancer societies.
It's said that the concept of Daffodil Day began in the '50s, with the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) using the daffodils as a symbol for cancer research and hope. But, in the USA, the American Cancer Society (ACS) adopted it in the '70s.
Well, it's said that the Canadian Cancer Society is behind starting the original concept. But, the American Cancer Society is to be credited for holding the spring fundraiser in support of cancer research every spring.
It doesn't matter if you choose to volunteer or donate on the occasion of Daffodil Day, as the main aim is to raise awareness about cancer. So, use this day to let your near and dear ones know about the benefits of testing and prevention. Before that, let's learn a bit about the history of this day.
There are no specific customs or traditions associated with Daffodil Day. But, you can participate in the fundraiser organized by the American Cancer Society, where they let you book bouquets of daffodils throughout February for collecting funds for cancer support. You will get the flower bouquet on the week of March 22.
You can choose to observe the day in your own way, but the easiest is to support someone who has been diagnosed with cancer and gift them daffodils on the day. There's also the option to donate to a cancer council, hospital, or research facility. If possible, you can host fundraisers or volunteer in one. This day can also make children aware of cancer and give them hope by making them learn about the different searches going on to find a proper cure.
This day in Australia is observed on the last Friday of August as a part of the Daffodil Day appeal.
This day helps raise awareness among people related to cancer research. Many raise funds and donations to help cancer patients and proper cancer research.
Well, we cannot tell the total amount raised as donation during the Daffodil Day events, but it has been estimated to be more than a million.
There are many claims to the history of this day, but in the USA, it began in the '70s.
Participants and volunteers of Daffodil Day usually wear yellow clothes to signify the daffodils.
