Day of Hope 2025
The fundraising deadline has been extended to Thursday, September 18, 2025 at 5:00pm!
What is Day of Hope?
Day of Hope is not just another day on the calendar; it's a day to benefit local cancer patients at Mission Hope Cancer Center, Arroyo Grande.
Arroyo Grande Community Hospital joined Marian Regional Medical Center, in partnership with the Santa Maria Times, to present the Day of Hope on Wednesday, August 27, 2025. A special Day of Hope edition newspaper of the Santa Maria Times featured compelling patient stories and photography illustrating the vital medical care that Mission Hope Cancer Center provides. This year, the Day of Hope teams hit the streets to sell these special edition newspapers for a donation of $1.00 or more from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. throughout the Five Cities. Through newspaper sales and online fundraising efforts, we are making a difference in our community.
How can you get involved?
If selling newspapers isn't your thing, you can still join us for Day of Hope by creating your personal fundraising page and encouraging your friends and family to join you in online fundraising. We are accepting donations until Friday, September 12, 2025 at 5:00pm.

Engage your network: Encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to donate. Host events, challenges or competitions (in-person or virtual) to make fundraising fun and interactive.
