Daffodil Day Fundraiser Planner

A community group in Aotearoa New Zealand is planning a Daffodil Day fundraiser. Use the information and budget below to make a realistic, fair and safe plan. Daffodil Day raises awareness and funds for the Cancer Society of New Zealand. No one should feel pressured to donate. All amounts are in New Zealand dollars (NZ$).

Read the planning notes

The planning team is considering a lunchtime stall. They estimate 70 people may visit. The team could sell 50 daffodil pins for NZ$3 each and 30 greeting cards for NZ$2 each. Pins cost NZ$1.20 each wholesale, and making the cards costs NZ$0.50 each. A table sign costs NZ$12. The group has permission to use a covered area, but must keep a clear walkway and provide a donation-free way to take part, such as reading a message or taking a free information leaflet. These are planning estimates, not guaranteed results.

8.Which advertisement message is clear and respectful?

Donate or you do not care.
Support Daffodil Day if you are able—every contribution is optional.
Everyone must buy a pin.
Only people who donate can read our information.

9.Write three practical steps the team should take before or during the stall. Include one safety or access step.

10.Give one reason the actual amount raised might be different from NZ$123, and describe one way to make the plan more reliable.

11.Create a short slogan and call to action for the stall. Include the cause, an optional way to support, and a welcoming message for people who cannot donate.

Draw a simple sign layout. Include a clear heading, one welcoming message, a price or optional donation note, and a daffodil symbol. Make the words easy to read from a short distance.
