Daffodil Day - Transition Year

16 Mar 2021

The Transition Year group are going to do some virtual fundraising for Daffodil Day and the Irish Cancer Society. Daffodil Day street collections have once again had to be cancelled this year. To help support the Irish Cancer Society and the 44,000 Irish people affected by cancer each year, we have set up a virtual collection page to raise vital funds. So what next? This will be kept very simple - I am asking all TY students to do a 5km walk or run. When? Next Tuesday 23rd March - All classes will stop for TYs from 12.30p.m to give you the chance to get out and about. (Feel free to start now!) While out I want students to take a photo of their walk/run, and if possible get some daffodils in the shot. Send the photo to me via email sc@naascbs.ie I would also like for them to post on social media including some of the hashtags #naascbs #daffodilday #irishcancersociety There is a virtual donation page set up. This is the link: https://daffodilday-virtualcollection.blackbaud-sites.com/fundraising/naas-cbs-transition-year-202021-fundraising-p I have attached a Slides Presentation outlining some extra information. It can also be accessed through this link: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1mH720xHMaQYX2vyG_nDmoH8uYnRwuP3IH0PEnI3t5LE/edit?usp=sharing I have also attached a series of images you can use to post on social media to raise awareness. Have a look through these images as they are eye-opening to what your donations can do. There is also a QR code also which when scanned will bring people directly to our donation page. I would love to see the lads come together as a year group and make a special effort for this. If anyone needs any help just let me know. All the best, S.Coy
