The American Cancer Society and Johns Hopkins will be joining forces to raise funds to help fight and prevent cancer during March Daffodil Days on Thursday and Friday, March 17 and 18.

The daffodil, selected in 1970 by the American Cancer Society as a symbol of hope for those touched by cancer, will be making its spring debut throughout the Johns Hopkins' facilities and campuses. The annual flower sale benefits cancer research, education, patient advocacy and treatment and is sponsored by the ACS Mid-Atlantic Division.

JHU volunteers will be selling bouquets and pots of daffodils at the following locations: Bayview Medical Center, Francis Scott Key Pavilion, cafeteria entrance; Bloomberg School of Public Health, outside the East Wing Auditorium; Homewood campus, Q-level of MSEL and the Wyman Park Building; Johns Hopkins at Eastern, lower level, near the cafeteria; White Marsh, Physicians Billing Service reception area; Johns Hopkins Outpatient Center, lobby.
