LILIES FOR LILLIE 2010 CAMPAIGN

RAISES $55,000 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SCOTIABANK AND VOCM CARES

Welcome to Lilies for Lillie - a fundraiser created in 2003 in memory of my mother, Lillie Delaney!

When Lilies for Lillie launched its inaugural campaign, nobody had any idea it would continue to grow and accomplish what it has to date. Our first campaign Lilies for Lillie raised just over $4500 and the entire committee was elated. 7 years later, over $230,000 dollars raised, over 55,000 lapel pins sold, 5 concerts, a Lillie Delaney Memorial endowment (Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation) and a patient suite called “Lillie’s Loft” in Daffodil Place – sometimes I am in disbelief, yet still honored that it has all happened. Lilies for Lillie has kept a memory alive and made quite a few memories of its own along the way!

Once again this year, it’s amazing to see the outpouring of support from communities all over the province, the corporate community and a wonderful group of volunteers. From Carbonear to Port Aux Basques to Labrador City – there are tens of thousands lapel pins being sported around Newfoundland and Labrador and beyond!

This year are going to support those living with cancer in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well we are supporting the people of Haiti. We are proud to be donating our funds to Daffodil Place & the Canadian Red Cross – Haiti Relief Fund. We are incredibly grateful to our partners – returning partner Scotiabank (who we partnered with in 2008) and newly onboard this year the VOCM Cares Foundation. Both of these great organizations have amazing people working for them and it’s wonderful to partner with people who care equally about raising money as they do the story behind the cause!

2010 marks an important year as we not only embark on another major campaign; it is the 10 year anniversary since my mother passed away. While we continue to raise as much money as we can, more importantly it is an amazing feeling to know that after a decade my mother’s memory, spirit and giving nature is still in full force today!

On behalf of my family, the entire LFL committee, the people who will benefit from these funds and of course yours truly – a sincere thank you!

Sincerely,
Gord Delaney
