A growing tribute More than 37,000 clients of the Cancer Society were offered support either through accommodation, transport, supportive care or ancillary care across Waikato and Bay of Plenty in the 2024/2025 financial year. Plus, the
society contributed $252,583 to local and national cancer research. With Daffodil Day on the horizon, more than 2000 bulbs are growing beside SH2 in the hope they would bloom close to August 29 to be sold around Katikati to support
the Waikato/Bay of Plenty branch of the Cancer Society on Daffodil Day 2025. Behind the fundraising action in Katikati is Daffodil Day area coordinator Glennis Sims, Jill Noble, who generously donated her garden patch to grow the bulbs, and
