What is MaineGeneral’s Day of Hope?
MaineGeneral’s Day of Hope brings our community together with an inspirational ceremony honoring our cancer community, followed by a 1.8-mile Walk for Hope through the beautiful University of Maine Augusta campus.
The Day of Hope features health screenings, cancer and prevention education, integrative therapy sessions, inspiration and hope – all while raising critical funding for the Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care (HACCC), which provides local cancer care for 12 percent of Maine's cancer patients.
What does MaineGeneral’s Day of Hope support?
In 2022, the Day of Hope raised more than $200,000 making it possible for the Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care (HACCC) to:
- Purchase dosimetry equipment, improving computing times;
- Purchase an ultrasound machine, providing better imagery;
- Purchase a lab centrifuge for research;
- Provide transportation, lodging and meal kits to patient in need;
- And so much more!
Your support makes a huge difference, living well beyond the day! Each dollar raised supports the critical needs of the HACCC and the incredible work of caring for the cancer patients in our communities, now and in the future.
