ABOUT DAFFYDILFor over 100 years, the students at the University of Toronto’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine have produced Daffydil, a theatrical production fundraiser in support of the Canadian Cancer Society. Since 1897, Daffydil has raised over $700,000 to support research and services.
A portion of proceeds from the production will also be donated to fun Temerty Medicine MD student bursaries. If you are unable to attend Daffydil and would like to help MD students with financial need, or you are interested in making a separate gift, please donate to the Daffydil Fund through our secure online donation page. This year Daffydil is thrilled to be back with a musical production entitled Code Blue Line - entirely written, produced, directed and performed by medical students. Daffydil has become a defining component of the student experience, entertaining more than 1200 people each year and bringing together students, alumni, and the Toronto community in support of fighting cancer. We invite you to join us at Hart House Theatre February 19-21, 2026. |
