Help Turn Australia Yellow This August!

August 11th, 2011 by Amy | 5 Comments | Filed in Stuff

We love the Cancer Council here at GP, so we wanted to let you know about their super awesome new campaign! You’ve probably heard about Daffodil Day – it’s on Friday the 26th of August (this year is its 25th anniversary!) It helps raise money for cancer research and support for people suffering with the disease. The daffodil has become symbol of hope for people who have had their lives touched by cancer.

So in the lead up to Daffodil Day, the Cancer Council will be sending out 5 bunches of 50 daffodils each day to people who need a little bit of sunshine in their lives. It’s such a great idea because isn’t getting a bunch of flowers just the best?!

We wish we could give ALL our Girl Powerettes a daffodil!

To nominate someone to receive a beautiful bunch of daffodils, just visit the Daffodil Day Facebook page and tell them in 25 words or less why a special person in your life deserves a bunch of daffodils.

Celeb Chef Pete Evans

Celeb chef Pete Evans is an ambassador for the campaign… and he’s already sent a bunch to Manu! Hee hee! So come on girls, get nominating and say thanks a bunch with facebunch! Don’t forget to buy some cute Daffodil products on Daffodil Day too!
