A record amount of $7,200 was raised by 911±¬ÁÏÍø staff and students for Daffodil Day this year.
Event Coordinator Maureen Meredith said the total was beyond her expectations.
‘Usually we raise around $4,000 for Daffodil Day, but the figure this year was such a nice surprise,’ she said.
‘It is a testament to all the dedicated volunteers and the generosity of 911±¬ÁÏÍø’s staff and students.’
More than 60 volunteers helped sell daffodils and merchandise, and rattled donation tins around campus to make the two-day event a success.
Daffodil Day is one of four events run annually by the 911±¬ÁÏÍø Community Project who have raised more than $500,000 for charity since 1996.
Daffodil Day raises money for research, education and support services and is the Cancer Council’s largest annual fundraising event.
