Daffodil Day is this Friday, August 28 and Vanessa Pringle Floral Designs is going to donate $5 to the Wig Library from every $10 bunch of daffodils sold.
The Wig Library began six years ago in a private corner of Bathurst Hospital and caring volunteers have since helped hundreds of people deal with hair loss, whether that be the result of undergoing treatment for cancer or from alopecia and stress.

Wig Library volunteer Mandy Wilding thanked Ms Pringle for her support.
She said it is the second year Ms Pringle has supported the charity, which relies exclusively on community donations to survive.
"Vanessa did it last year. She wanted to be part of Daffodil Day, but wanted the money raised to stay in town," Mrs Wilding said.
"This year she called [Wig Library volunteer] Heather [Larnach] and said she would love to do it again."

Mrs Wilding said money raised from the fundraiser will be used to buy new spring hats for clients of the Wig Library as well as providing care packages for them made up of sunscreen, hand sanitiser, lip balm and other body products.
She said Ms Pringle had made an incredible effort to make the fundraiser as successful as possible, contacting corporate clients around town and asking them for support.
"We're just so appreciative," she said.
"The Wig Library is run solely on donations and we are so well looked-after by the community, it's just beautiful.
"The Wig Library is truly blessed to have such amazing ongoing support with kind and generous local people and businesses."
