Wednesday, August 23rd, was the tenth annual fundraiser promoting awareness that benefits Marian cancer care patients.
This year, ASB/Student Council students help raise nearly $300 for the 10th Annual Day of Hope Event.
Ninth grader Judith Velasco said, “a lot of people don’t donate, so I might as well be one of the people who does.” Senior Aida Perez added, “it’s just something that I usually do [donate to charities].”
Participant Adriana Salvador stated, “I felt good becaue it went for a good contribution to something positive in the future, and I felt like I helped someone and hopefully made a positive impact.”
The special edition of the Santa Maria Times profiled cancer survivors who benefited from Mission Hope.
Mr. Salazar sent out an announcement via Parent Square to the SMHS community thanking students, staff, and parents for the contributions.
