Daffodil Days fund-raising doubles at UD

4:45 p.m., March 17, 2006--Bright yellow daffodils filled every empty space in 132 Hullihen Hall on March 15 as students began the last leg of American Cancer Society Daffodil Days by delivering the flowers to contributors.

This year's Daffodil Days campaign raised approximately $9,000, more than twice last year's $4,431, and had an added component: Contributors could buy pots of daffodils for $10 each to be planted in the new Center for the Performing Arts garden. Tom Taylor, UD landscape engineer, designed Taylor Garden in memory of his wife, Linda, a cancer victim.

Gwen Davis, administrative assistant in the office of the vice president and university secretary, coordinates Daffodil Days at UD. She said 93 pots were sold for the garden.

DUSC volunteers Lauren Greenawald and Michael McKee prepare daffodils for distribution.

“I'd really like to acknowledge DUSC members participation in this year's event. They've raised over $700 and helped with distribution. Lauren Greenawald is DUSC's organizer, and she has been terrific,” Davis said.
