Every dollar raised stays right here in our community, helping fund vital services including support groups, counselling, grocery and petrol vouchers, rehabilitation programmes, and education on cancer risk reduction and early detection.

If you're flying with us to or from Nelson this month, you can drop your spare change into the donation box at the Nelson Airport check-in counter until Daffodil Day on 28 August. You can also scan the QR code on our check-in flyer to make a donation online.
