Giving Back #1 - Singapore Cancer Society

 
Giving Back #1
Singapore Cancer Society
 
 
New section ! Under " Giving Back " , I will be posting up some organisations that I've volunteered for ; as well as how to give back to the community.
 
Have you ever heard of Daffodil Days ? It's actually a community-based fundraising project that started in Canada , 1950s . It signifies the celebration of hope for all cancer patients all over the world . This project has allowed Singapore Cancer Society to raise awareness in our community .
 
The teddybears above were part of the " gifts " you would have gotten if you donated during Daffodil Days 2013 . Those teddybears above are mine , and I've donated $10 in order to get two of them ( do your math ! ) because I didn't want to only have one lonely teddybear .
( They have feelings too you know ! )
 
So , what does Singapore Cancer Society do ?
  • Cancer treatment subsidies
