Memory Matters Utah/Nevada kicks off Daffodils by the Bunch
By David Moore
“Paint the town yellow” this spring and support those battling dementia and Alzheimer’s disease with Daffodils by the Bunch, the signature activity of Memory Matters Utah/Nevada that raises both community awareness and revenue for local programs and services through the sale of fresh-cut daffodils from Washington State.
Memory Matters Utah/Nevada’s Daffodil by the Bunch is a simple yet effective way for the community to bring hope into the lives of those dealing with the daily struggles of dementia and memory loss. Beginning in January, volunteers will mobilize to sell cut daffodils, the first flower of spring, in support of the organization’s mission to reduce isolation and increase wellness for individuals with dementia and their caregivers through activities, support, education, and consultations.
“We want to paint the town yellow this year with Daffodil by the Bunch,” said LuAnn Lundquist, founder and executive director of Memory Matters Utah/Nevada. “You aren’t simply buying flowers; you are funding programs that provide real support to patients and caregivers in our community. Through the community’s generous support of Daffodils by the Bunch, we will be able to continue to walk alongside those who are navigating the difficult path of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia and give encouragement and support to their caregivers.”
Daffodils by the Bunch is about more than just giving beautiful flowers. It is an opportunity to share memories, lift spirits and give hope. Please join Memory Matters Utah/Nevada in this annual celebration and help “Paint the Town Yellow!” Your generous support funds local programs that include information and referral services, support groups, care consultations, memory testing consultations, outreach and education events, educational resources, interfaith training programs, early stage memory loss classes, memory activity classes and the “Good Morning Sunshine” wellness calling program.
Pre-orders for daffodils will begin in January and run through March 11. Flowers are available by the bunch (10 flowers) for $10, half box (25 bunches)for $240, and full box (50 bunches) for $450. Cut flowers will be available beginning March 20. For more information about Daffodils by the Bunch or to volunteer to help with daffodils sales, call Memory Matters Utah/Nevada at (435) 319-0407.
