Daffodil Days for Presbyterian Home Healthcare and Hospice

Blossom Sponsors:

Daffodils will bring a hint of Spring on March 23 and 24, 2012

With the support of Presenting Sponsor Bank of Albuquerque, Media Sponsor Cumulus Media, Inc. and the generous support of dozens of other companies and individuals, the 28th annual Daffodil Days event will be held the fourth weekend in March. 

Over 160,000 daffodils will arrive in Albuquerque by refrigerator truck from a farm in Washington State on Sunday, March 18. Once unloaded, the flowers will be arranged into bunches and bouquets  - some for early delivery and others destined for over a dozen sales sites in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho.  

This year the Foundation expects to use the serivces of over 500 volunteers to help with unloading the flowers, unpacking boxes of vases, baby's breath and greens, preparing the flowers, driving delivery routes and working at sales sites. Without the help of these volunteers, some of whom have been contributing for over twenty years, it would be impossible to manage the event.

Proceeds from the sales of flowers will go to support Presbyterian Home Healthcare and Hospice for patients with financial needs at a particularly difficult and vulnerable time in their lives.  

Please check out our Sales Sites for a location and date nearest to you.
