Daffodil Day 2010

The National Bank’s support of the Cancer Society and Daffodil Day is one of New Zealand’s most iconic sponsorships. Friday 27th August 2010 marks the 20th anniversary of the relationship between the Cancer Society and The National Bank. Our staff whole-heartedly support Daffodil Day every year in August, and The National Bank is proud to be Principal Sponsor of such a worthwhile cause.

Each year around 17,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with cancer, and 1 in 3 people will be affected by cancer. The diagnosis of cancer, and the treatment regime that follows, is likely to seriously disrupt the lives of the patient and their families and friends.

Daffodil Day proceeds are allocated to cancer research, prevention, education and support to patients and their families. The Cancer Society supports patients and their family by:

Providing accommodation to patients, who need to travel away from home for treatment
Providing support & information to patients and their families
Funding research into cancer.

Over 20 years, National Bank staff have raised nearly 13 million dollars toward Daffodil Day. Daffodil Day proceeds collected by National Bank staff in your region are allocated directly to your local Cancer Society division to help people in your community that are affected by cancer.
