LEWISTON – People will soon be receiving bouquets of daffodils from friends, co-workers or loved ones who are participating in the American Cancer Society’s Daffodil Days campaign.

Those who have forgotten to order daffodils in advance can get them at Hannaford Supermarkets, which will sell bouquets of 10 from March 19 to 23 (or while supplies last) for a $7 donation. All proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

Area businesses, schools and civic organizations became involved with American Cancer Society Daffodil Days by pre-selling flowers. Many also purchased flowers that will be donated to local hospitals and healthcare facilities.

Funds raised during Daffodil Days support the American Cancer Society’s many programs and services in the area. They also help in research efforts and support the 24-hour, toll-free information line, 800-ACS-2345, and Web site, www.cancer.org.

March is also National Colon Cancer Awareness Month. Colon cancer is the third most common cause of cancer and cancer death in men and women. For more information about colon cancer, call 800-ACS-2345 anytime day or night, or visit www.cancer.org.
