The Daffodil Day Appeal will take place throughout August, culminating in Daffodil Day on Friday 23 August 2019.

Forbes Lions will be selling merchandise and fresh flowers once again in Rankin Street, from 10am onwards.

This year, Daffodil Day celebrates 33 years of turning Australia yellow, with Cancer Council aiming to raise more than $4 million for cancer research through online donations.

Bree Kelly, Community Relations Coordinator for Cancer Council's Forbes communities, said that funds raised through the Daffodil Day Appeal will go towards funding cancer research, with the potential to find the next breakthrough in cancer treatment or detection.

"Despite advances made in research and improving survival rates for many cancers, we know that 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed by the age of 85. By supporting the Daffodil Day Appeal, you will help us invest in cutting-edge, life-saving research to give Australians hope for a cancer free future," Miss Kelly said.

"This year, there will be some changes to Daffodil Day in Forbes. For the first time ever, EFTPOS devices will be available at every site to make it easier for people to donate if they don't have cash."

Cancer Council works across every aspect of cancer and relies on the generosity of community donations to help fund their work.

Last year, Cancer Council NSW contributed $18.7 million towards cancer research, across 292 researchers, 72 projects and 18 institutions.

"We want to encourage everyone to get involved in the Daffodil Day Appeal, with the knowledge that your involvement will help create a world without cancer," Miss Kelly said.

There are many ways to support the Daffodil Day Appeal; donate online, volunteer your time, or make a donation to wear a daffodil pin or for fresh daffodils on Friday 23 August.
