REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR CANCER COUNCIL’S DAFFODIL DAY 2025
For all that cancer takes, give hope and support this Daffodil Day

Daffodil Day, Cancer Council’s most iconic and much-loved fundraising campaign, returns on Thursday 21 August 2025.

Each year, Australians come together on Daffodil Day to give hope to those affected by cancer and raise vital funds for life-saving research. It’s a moment to recognise just how much cancer takes, and an opportunity to give back. Whether you donate, host, dip, or buy a bunch of daffodils, your support helps fund research that’s changing lives.

To make it easy for everyone to get involved, Cancer Council is encouraging Australians to take part any time throughout August, with a goal to surpass the $3.3 million raised by over 36,814 fundraisers and donors in 2024 and reach $4 million raised for cancer research in 2025.

Ways to get involved include:

• Donating online
• Hosting a fundraiser
• Taking the plunge with the Daffodil Day Dip
• Purchasing an exclusive artist-designed eCard
• Or simply buying a bunch of daffodils at Cancer Council pop-up stalls across the country

The Daffodil Day Dip invites Australians to dip into the ocean, a lake, river, pool, or even a bath - just make it cold! Dip once, twice, every weekend, or daily throughout August, to show support and raise much-needed funds for research. The funds raised will support Australians affected by cancer and take us one step closer to a cancer-free future.

“With around 150,000 Australians tragically diagnosed with cancer each year, and almost one in two people heartbreakingly impacted by cancer during their lifetime, it’s vital we continue to invest in pioneering research,” Cancer Council Head of Fundraising, Lyrian Fleming-Parsley, said.

“For all that cancer takes, we encourage everyone to give all they can this Daffodil Day. Thanks to our amazing donors, we’ve made huge strides in cancer prevention, screening, and treatment over the past 37 years – but there’s still a long way to go.

“Cancer Council’s Daffodil Day brings Australians together for a special cause. Please dig deep again and help us make this year’s campaign the biggest yet - because every dollar helps save lives.”

For all that cancer takes, Australians are urged to give this Daffodil Day, Thursday 21 August 2025.

To donate, register a fundraiser, sign up for the Daffodil Day Dip, purchase an exclusive artist-designed eCard, or find your nearest Daffodil Day stall, visit daffodilday.com.au or call 1300 65 65 85
