Day of Hope

August 27, 2025

Arroyo Grande Community Hospital once again joined Marian Regional Medical Center, in partnership with the Santa Maria Times, to present the Day of Hope on Wednesday, August 27, 2025. In our second year, Day of Hope raised over $65,000, which directly supports cancer patients at Mission Hope Cancer Center in Arroyo Grande, nearly doubling our fundraising from last year. The day was filled with activity, including 14 enthusiastic teams selling newspapers across the Five Cities and several local businesses also supporting the cause. 

It was inspiring to see the support for this important cause and we look forward to growing Day of Hope in the future.

All Day of Hope proceeds stay local and support the following at Mission Hope Cancer Center Arroyo Grande:

  • Equipment and technology
  • Patient assistance needs
  • Cancer programs and services
