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, located at 76 Community Drive, Augusta.
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, which provides local cancer care for 12 percent of Maine's cancer patients.
What does MaineGeneral’s Day of Hope support?
In past years, money raised through the Walk has supported patient needs, transportation, equipment upgrades and more. In 2024, proceeds supported the $36 million expansion and renovation of the cancer center to meet an ever-increasing need for cancer care services.
