This year's Daffodil Day is coming on 20 March

Watch this space for updates. Sign-ups will open soon.

Did you know that every 3 minutes, someone faces a cancer diagnosis in Ireland? This is why, on Friday, 20 March, we'll hold Daffodil Day, our annual flagship fundraiser - a day when we'll come together once again to turn Ireland yellow - so we can continue our vital services. We won't stop until cancer does.

You can get involved soon - come back to this page regularly over the next couple of weeks for updates.

In the meantime, you can always make a donation to support our work.

Where do your donations go?

The Irish Cancer Society typically receives only 5% of its income from the Irish Government, so it’s thanks to your generosity that we can continue to provide vital free services and support, ensuring nobody in Ireland faces cancer alone.

Your generous donations fund groundbreaking cancer research, cancer trials and crucially, free support services for people affected by cancer, throughout Ireland.
