Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News May 1, 2013) — The American Cancer Society reports, that once again the Jamestown High School National Honor Society, under the supervision of Tammy Mullowney, along with community volunteers, James & Linda Bender and Bill & Nellie Degen, hosted a very successful 2013 Daffodil Days event, raising approximately $6,000.

　

Community Relations Manager, Mary Dahl , in Fargo, days, the American Cancer Society would like to share that it appreciates every bouquet of daffodils purchased, and we want to reassure everyone that the dollars raised by the event will be used to help the American Cancer Society continue its funding of cancer research, its state and national legislative advocacy, and its many educational and patient service programs.

This year alone, the investment will be approximately $120 million in cancer research nationwide; $3.2 billion has been invested since the research program began in 1946.

A portion of the money raised by past Daffodil Days in Stutsman County is presently being used to support Look Good … Feel Better, Patient Lodging Program, and Transportation Assistance, which are very successful and well-utilized programs here in our area. The money raised locally is also helping to fund the Society’s Cancer Resource Centers. Patients and their families from Jamestown and throughout North Dakota have been visiting these Centers for information and assistance following their diagnosis of cancer.

The Society’s research program is the largest, private, not-for-profit source of funding for cancer research in the United States, second only to the federal government. In fact, 46 of the researchers we have financially supported have gone on to win the Nobel Prize. The Society’s funding has also helped play a part in every major research break-through in the past 50 years, including: the Pap Test, mammography, Gleevex, Tamoxifen, Herceptin, Gardacil, the first successful chemotherapy treatment for cancer, and the bone marrow transplant technique.

Ms Dahl says the American Cancer Society greatly appreciates the support of the students and community volunteers, Don’s House of Flowers and staff for providing a staging area and storage of the fresh flowers, and all who purchased Daffodil products.
