2016 is the sixth year with Dell as the lead partner to the Irish Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day campaign. To mark this milestone and to officially launch the campaign, Dell is holding a breakfast reception.
As part of the reception Dell will be hosting local school children for a special Daffodil Day-themed MegaDojo, where they will learn more about the magic of code by ‘coding a daffodil.’
John O’Mara, Cork Site Leader at Dell Ireland and Executive Director, Finance, Dell Software will address the audience on the day.
The invitation-only breakfast will take place on Friday, February 5th 2016 at 9.45am in City Gate Park, Mahon, Cork.

Daffodil Day takes place nationally on the 11th of March. Thousands of volunteers around Ireland sell daffodil pins and flowers (on streets, in businesses, homes and shopping centres) to raise money for the Irish Cancer Society’s free, nationwide services for those with, and affected by, cancer in Ireland. Daffodil Day is the biggest and longest running fundraising day for the Society, Ireland’s national cancer charity. - See more at: http://www.cancer.ie/get-involved/fundraise/major-fundraising-drives/daffodil-day#sthash.JOYwaqGI.dpuf PIC DARRAGH KANE](https://www.thecork.ie/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/DK02022016-DaffodilDay-009-300x200.jpg)
