Impressive Display

Daffodil Day, which raises funds for the Irish Cancer Society, isn't until the end of March,
but already shops in Drogheda are decorating their window for the event.
They've been doing this for a few years now,and it certainly raises awareness of this worthy cause, as well as looking good.
Some shops combine it with their St Patrick's Day decorations.
Apparently a tv crew was due to film the displays for broadcast on national television.
It would be nice if more towns followed this initiative.

A very poignant display. The yellow is so vibrant it's almost like a selective color shot.

Well done.

A sign with impact and a firm message...our daffodil day for obvious reasons is not until our Spring, but at the present time it's Shave for a Cure...blood cancer awareness. Emily, age 5 next week will shave the head of a Dad who is inspired by her...both are very brave ;)
I love the displays of daffy and I hope a lot of money is raised

Well composed, and good use of the poster to convey the message.

the daffs exude optimism...the decades long struggle for a cure, or even preventative measures against this insidious disease, certainly needs more funding..

That's a good idea and a colorful, cheerful way to raise awareness.

It is a terrific idea. I love this charming and colourful image, not only very redolent of spring, but for a good cause. V
