The Daffodil Ring Raises Over $10,000
for the Cancer Society of New Zealand
A ring designed
as a unified symbol of hope for cancer sufferers in New
Zealand has raised over ten thousand dollars for the Cancer
Society of New Zealand.
The
Daffodil Ring was launched by Vivacity, a social
enterprise of four young women with a common interest in
helping cancer sufferers in New Zealand, in collaboration
with Benjamin Black Goldsmiths of
Nelson.
Fifty dollars from the sale of each silver
ring and one hundred and seventy-five dollars from the sale
of each gold ring is donated to the Cancer Society of New
Zealand.
Vivacity spokesperson and communications manager, Alice Hazlett, says the group is hoping Daffodil Day on Friday August 28 will encourage more sales.
“Public
support for Daffodil Rings has so far been overwhelming,
however we anticipate Daffodil Day this Friday will
encourage more people to buy them - either as a lasting
symbol to remember a loved one by, or as a simple yet
beautiful way of showing their support for the wonderful
work the Cancer Society do in our community,” says
Hazlett.
