Popular spring cancer fundraiser returning to Smithers

The Daffodil Dash event will be making a return in Smithers this year.

The event was run annually as a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society which hasn’t run since 2019.

“We did move very strongly to an online auction to great success from this community as usual,” said Committee Member Grant Harris.

He added the new committee is made up of both new and former members wanting to return the event because of its popularity.

“It was a fun event. It was family oriented, we had goofy challenges everyone enjoyed, the business community enjoyed being apart of such a positive event, and it felt like now was a good time to bring that back,” Harris said.

The dash is scheduled to run on April 26th with the silent online auction occurring before then.

In planning for the event, donations for the auction and volunteers are being sought to make the it successful.

Anyone wishing to donate or register as a volunteer can do so by messaging the event’s Facebook page.
