The Daffodil Days program is a chance to fight back against cancer by raising funds and awareness to help beat the disease. While the Daffodil Days program involves offering daffodils every spring to donors in appreciation for their contributions, it is about more than just giving beautiful flowers — it is everyone’s opportunity to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays, where cancer never steals another year from anyone’s life, according to the press release.

The Marple Newtown students delivered daffodils to cancer patients receiving treatment at the Bryn Mawr Hospital Health Center in Newtown Square.
