On Daffodil Day 2026 communities across Donegal gave it their all to bring hope, to provide support, to drive progress and to stand together against cancer.
The annual fundraiser took place on Friday, March 20 and throughout towns and villages in Donegal much needed funds were raised for the Irish Cancer Society.

Daffodil Day is an annual fundraising and awareness campaign organised by the Irish Cancer Society to support cancer patients, fund research, and provide vital services across Ireland.
On this day, communities, schools, workplaces, and individuals show their support by selling daffodil pins, hosting coffee mornings, donating, and decorating in yellow to symbolise hope and solidarity.
By going all in for cancer, communities across Donegal are funding expert cancer nurses, providing end-of-life care for cancer patients in their own homes, allowing patients to remain at home for the last days of their lives.
Helping to fund over 100 cancer researchers across Ireland working to develop new and better treatments for many different types of cancer and a range of vital services to help people navigate cancer.
Without your support on Daffodil Day, none of this would be possible.
