Hand in Hand Daffodil Project
Sponsoring charity or nonprofit: Hillel at Kennesaw State University and Am Yisrael Chai!, a non- profit Holocaust education and awareness organization
Brief description of the event or project: During the Holocaust, one and a half million children died senselessly in Nazi occupied Europe. No one knows what kind of lives these children would have gone on to lead. Their potential for growth and fulfillment was cut short. In memory and honor of these children, The Daffodil Project plans to plant 1.5 million daffodils to remember the children. The shape and color of the daffodils represent the Jewish stars worn by Jews during the Holocaust. Daffodils are flowers that represent our poignant hope for the future and are a renewal of nature after the harshness of winter. They are resilient and return with a burst of color each spring. Yellow is the color of remembrance. The daffodils will also honor those who survived the Holocaust.
Hillel at Kennesaw State University partnered with Am Yisrael Chai! to bring this world wide project to KSU campus, and Omega Phi Alpha National Service Sorority participated by raising awareness on campus, selling memorial bracelets and attending the daffodil planting at KSU’s Holocaust Education Center on Veterans Day.
How can people help: You can purchase a memorial bracelet for $5 and wear the bracelet as a powerful and tangible reminder of those who were affected by the Holocaust. In keeping with the spirit of Am Yisrael Chai! and bringing the message of the Holocaust to present day, funds raised from this project will support Holocaust Education and will also support children suffering in humanitarian crises in the world today.

The purpose of this event was to raise money for our brother, Carter Haines, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. In just four hours, we raised $2,100. We plan on surpassing that amount in our upcoming events next semester.

We are having another philanthropy event when everyone gets back from winter break and a couple more fundraisers that everyone can be a part of after that.
