Many volunteers are now canvassing for Cancer Society

News Release
Canadian Cancer Society

This spring, when a Canadian Cancer Society volunteer canvasser comes knocking, open your door and please give generously.
The Canadian Cancer Society’s annual Daffodil Month is an opportunity for everyone who has been touched by cancer to make their stories their reasons to give. From the families and friends of those who have been diagnosed with cancer to the survivors themselves, everyone can help make a difference in fighting cancer.
During the month of April, close to 40,000 volunteers support the fundraising campaign. The money raised helps the Society:
·fund leading-edge cancer research
·offer reliable information on all types of cancer
·provide support services to people living with cancer - such as rides to and from cancer-related appointments
·advocate for healthy public policy
·educate Ontarians about healthy living and how to reduce their risk of cancer
“Daffodil Month gives everyone the opportunity to join a team that’s working together with one goal - to make cancer history,” says Peter Goodhand, CEO, Canadian Cancer Society, Ontario. “We couldn’t fund cancer research and offer the services we do without our caring volunteers and their generous neighbours.”
To help you identify the Canadian Cancer Society volunteer canvasser at your door, look for the following materials:
Identification Badge
Volunteers wear an official Canadian Cancer Society volunteer identification badge.
Official Receipt Book
Volunteers carry an official canvassing kit and receipt book with the Canadian Cancer Society’s recognized symbol of hope on the front cover - the daffodil.
Official receipt
Canadian Cancer Society volunteers provide an official receipt for donations of $10 or more right at the door.
So, when a volunteer canvasser knocks at your door this month, please give generously. More information is available at www.cancer.ca/daffodil or 1 888 939-3333.
