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.
