Daffodil Days 26th Anniversary - a floral fantasy

Presenting Sponsor First Community Bank and Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation are happy to announce upcoming 2010 Daffodil Days; sales will support Presbyterian's Home Healthcare and Hospice Services.

Last year we sold over 170,000 flowers with the help of 600 volunteers. Sales locations covered the Albuquerque/Rio Rancho metropolitan area.

Daffodil Days for Presbyterian Home Healthcare and Hospice

Daffodil Days for Presbyterian Home Healthcare and Hospice

Every year for 26 years, in partnership with our sponsors, donors and volunteers, the Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation has cut and arranged thousands to daffodils during the first weeks of March. They are sold at several dozen sales sites across the metro area to support patients in Home Healthcare and Hospice and to welcome spring into our lives.

The Foundation is proud to announce that First Community Bank will be our presenting sponsor for the sixth consecutive year.

Please give us a call at (505)-724-6577 if you are interested in information on joining us for this event. We have a lot of fun at the warehouse cutting and arranging flowers and helping with deliveries; many volunteers have returned for this event for more than 20 years.

The proceeds from this weekend-long event support Presbyterian's Homecare and Hospice Patient Care services.
