Day of Hope - A community wide event benefiting the patients of Mission Hope Cancer Center

Hundreds of volunteers will take to the streets through the Santa Maria Valley on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, during the 12th annual Day of Hope event, a fundraiser benefiting local cancer patients at Mission Hope Cancer Center. On this day, there is a chance for each of us to buy the Santa Maria Times special edition newspaper from local volunteers for $1.00, with all proceeds benefiting programs that support local cancer patients and their families.
