Aberdeen Great Daffodil Appeal
For 10th Year Running
The Bon Accord St. Nicholas Shopping Centre is to lend its support to the Aberdeen branch of Marie Curie Cancer Care for the tenth year running this weekend, as the centre plays host to the “Daffodil Collectors”, who will be selling the traditional silk daffodil pins as part of the charity’s annual Great Daffodil Appeal, from 9 am till 5 pm on Saturday (25 March 2006).
A team of twelve volunteers from the charity will take turns selling pins throughout the day, in the lower and upper malls of the shopping centre’s central atrium.
Michael Jamieson, Community Fundraising Manager for Marie Curie Cancer Care, says: “Each and every daffodil sold will help Marie Curie Nurses across the north east of Scotland provide vital one-to-one nursing care to people terminally ill with cancer in their own homes.”
“We are very grateful to the Bon Accord St. Nicholas Shopping Centre for their support through the years,” he continues, “and hope that this year we can raise even more money than last year. We are also delighted that all seven of the centre’s food outlets have agreed to provide another avenue of support for the charity throughout March by hosting boxes of daffodil pins on their counters.”
Centre manager, Frank Sutherland, says: “I am very happy to be hosting the Great Daffodil Appeal in the Bon Accord St. Nicholas shopping centre, and to be supporting such an important cause. I hope that our shoppers give generously and help the charity to continue their invaluable work in the north east of Scotland.”
