Daffodil Days is one of ACS' oldest and most beloved fund raisers, it has been around for 30 years. The program stands for the fight against Colo-rectal Cancer, with the fund raising ending in March during Colo-rectal Cancer Awareness Month.
Colo-rectal cancer is the third most common cause of cancer and cancer death in both men and women alike in the US. Currently, about 10% of all cancer diagnoses in the US is colo-rectal cancer.
In 2006, 150,000 people will be diagnoses with colo-rectal cancer and more than 55,000 died. These numbers can be cut in half if Americans will just follow the ACS' screening recommendations. This very thing is one of the things that Daffodil Days is fighting for.
Daffodil Days was created to represent the four fronts of fighting cancer:
Research
Since ACS is the nation's largest non-governmental organization that funds cancer research, they are at the front lines of the most innovative, groundbreaking research going on in the world of cancer research.
ACS researchers have won 38 Nobel prizes and helped save thousands of lives.
Education
ACS prides itself on the cancer prevention and early detection campaigns that reaches millions of people in thousands of communities around the country.
Advocacy
ACS works hard with lawmakers to make sure that cancer funding stays a top priority. They also lobby to make sure that cancer patients continue to get the support they need from insurance companies and other resources. Advocacy is about the quality of treatment for the patients and quality of life for the survivors.
Patient Services
As I have mentioned before, ACS have many programs that are offered to cancer patients and their families. They believe that no one should have to go through it alone.
So, how does Daffodil Days work? It is a three month campaign from January to late March. Everyone is welcome to take part, from grade school kids to business owners. For every donation given a beautiful bunch of daffodils is delivered to the donor in March, making the community a picture of spring.
Why the Daffodil? The daffodil is one of the first flowers of spring and represents hope and renewal. The hope we all have for a world that is one day when cancer is no longer a life-threatening disease.
With every dollar given and beautiful flower delivered, we come closer to finding a cure and continuing the important services that the American Cancer Society has grown to be known for. For more information on this and its many other programs, please visit www.cancer.org .

     My marraige has been falling a part for the past 5 years, and because of this I have been forced to go thru some very rough times.  I am raising my 14 year old daughter and this has all been very, very hard on both of us. Last January I lost my job and was forced to go on state aid while looking for another one.  However it was not enough to pay rent.  My ex helped with the difference until he lost his job in June. So in July and August I was unable to pay the full amount of my rent. At the end of August I started working again, I love my job and I am very good at it. The pay is decent, however no sooner did I start there, when the Franchise Tax Board of California started garnishing my paychecks for back taxes. I was asked to move out of my apartment by the end of September. But my landlord did not evict me.  I stayed in a motel for the first month but it was too expensive and I could not afford it. A friend said my daughter and I could stay there and my cats could stay in the garage.  So we have been there since.  On January 31, my last check will be garnished and by February 15 I will be at my full pay again.  My friend lives in a house his mothers owns and she has now said my daughter, my cats and myself have to be out by this weekend January 20,21.  I am so close to being able to stand on my feet and make a life for my daughter and myself. Just 1 month, after 5 years of hell. But I now find myself with no where to go for that month and no where to keep my cats,  I don't have enough for a down payment on a place yet and my credit is not the best so I cant just move in anywhere. I am asking for one time assisstance to be given the chance to start again. Something to help this last month, somewhere to stay, and somewhere to keep my cats, they were there for me when I was at my lowest and I hand raised them since birth, I have 2. Can someone help me, advise me, get me into an apartment that allows pets in Castro Valley Ca?  Give my daughter and I a chance for a happy life starting over.  Thank you,
