Wendy Stewart, Canadian Cancer Society Vernon unit president, and sales reps from Sutton Group – Lakefront Realty prepare to deliver daffodils.

The team from Sutton Group – Lakefront Realty in Vernon, B.C. joined thousands of other volunteers across the country in April to participate in fundraisers during Daffodil Month. The flower deliveries in Vernon raised about $12,000, which is substantial for this community of 40,000 people (a total of 58,000 in Greater Vernon). Funds raised help the Canadian Cancer Society support Canadians living with cancer, advocate for public policies to improve health and finance research into cancer prevention.

The brokerage’s Beth Marks was nominated for the 2014 Woman of the Year Award from Vernon Women in Business. She is a past-president of Kalamalka Rotary and chair of Habitat Champs, a group raising money to buy land for a Habitat for Humanity building project.
