Daffodil Day 2011
The National Bank’s support of the Cancer Society and Daffodil Day is one of
New
Zealand’s most iconic sponsorships. Friday 26th August 2011 marks the 21st anniversary
of the relationship between the Cancer Society and The National Bank. Our staff
whole-heartedly support Daffodil Day every year in August, and The National Bank
is proud to be Principal Sponsor of such a worthwhile cause.
Each year around 17,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with cancer, and 1 in 3 people
will be affected by cancer. The diagnosis of cancer, and the treatment regime that
follows, is likely to seriously disrupt the lives of the patient and their families
and friends.
Daffodil Day proceeds are allocated to cancer research, prevention, education and
support to patients and their families. The Cancer Society supports patients and
their family by: :
- Providing accommodation to patients, who need to travel away from home for treatment
- Providing support & information to patients and their families
- Funding research into cancer.
Over 21 years, National Bank staff have raised over 13 million dollars toward Daffodil
Day. Daffodil Day proceeds collected by National Bank staff in your region are allocated
directly to your local Cancer Society division to help people in your community
that are affected by cancer.
