Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Daffodil Day Dip challenge and when does it take place?
Take a cold plunge this August for the almost 1 in 2 Aussies diagnosed with cancer. Dip, dive or plunge into cold water for Daffodil Day anytime this August.
Where is the Daffodil Day Dip held?
That's up to you! You can dip at your local beach, in your backyard pool, even a cold bath! There are no official events organised by Cancer Council.
Do I dip once in August or every day?
It's your choice. Most people will dip on Daffodil Day (22 August) but you'll see people getting in some practice dips or dipping every day in August. It's your challenge so take it on in a way that suits you.
What is a Facebook fundraiser and how do I share it with my friends?
A fundraising page that is created for you once you have registered to use within Facebook. Create yours here.
What is the best way to raise money was a Facebook fundraiser?
Make it personal and make it fun! Post regular updates on your Facebook fundraisers to make people feel involved in your challenge. Post videos. Post selfies. Tag friends. The more likes and comments, the more money you will raise so be as creative as you can be!
Can my friends and family donate if they don't have a Facebook account?
They can donate directly to our Daffodil Day campaign here: https://www.daffodilday.com.au Note this will not go directly to your fundraising but will go towards funding life-changing cancer research.
Why is the challenge hosted by Cancer Council NSW when I'm in a different state or territory?
Cancer Councils in ACT, Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and NSW have all teamed up for the Daffodil Day Dip challenge, which is hosted on Cancer Council NSW’s Facebook page. We are working together to raise funds for Cancer Council’s vital research and cancer support services, and the funds raised will be split between each state or territory’s Cancer Council. All monies raised will help people affected by cancer across Australia.
Can I log my dips?
Unfortunately we don't have a way to log your dips on your Facebook Fundraiser but you can record them in your calendar you receive in your welcome pack. We suggest you take a selfie and share on Facebook with your fundraiser to let your friends and family know each dip you do.
If you have any other questions that are not answered here, ask in the group or just ask us in Messenger on 298052416718877
Which swim cap will I receive in my welcome pack?
Your welcome pack will contain a daffodil-yellow Cancer Council swim cap for you to wear while dipping.
The first 500 people to raise at least $30 in the first 3 days of registering were sent a fancy floral cap - unfortunately that stock has run out. But don't worry, you can still have fun dipping in our bright daffodil-yellow Cancer Council cap!
