About The Daffodil Gala

One of Ottawa's oldest and most prestigious fundraising events, the Daffodil Gala brings together community leaders and philanthropists for an elegant evening in support of the Canadian Cancer Society.

Our Mission

The Daffodil Gala aims to raise critical funds for cancer research while fostering connections among community members who share a commitment to making cancer history.

Through our annual event, we support the Canadian Cancer Society's initiatives for cancer prevention, research, and support programs that directly impact those affected by cancer. The daffodil, our namesake, symbolizes strength, courage and hope in the fight against cancer.
