Canadian Cancer Society_210An advisory from the North Bay branch of the Canadian Cancer Society that they are not going door to door asking for donations.

Fundraising Coordinator Susan Plomondon says their campaign is in April and there are a couple of giveaways: canvassers would have a kit or book with a number on it.

She says they also hand out receipts with official receipt numbers for contributors. 

And in addition the canvasser would have a name tag or a daffodil lapel pin.

As well, community organizations raise funds through various events throughout the year.

In those cases you can check by phoning the local branch to see if those organizations have let the branch know they are collecting donations for the Cancer Society.
