A Note From the Publishers – August 2026

As summer begins to wind down and families prepare for a new school year, August reminds us that one of the greatest strengths of the Santa Clarita Valley is its caring spirit. Time and again, our community comes together to support one another, and nowhere is that more evident than in this month’s issue.
We are especially honored to feature three remarkable nonprofit organizations on our cover, each making an incredible difference in the lives of local families. The WiSH Education Foundation continues to enrich the educational experience of more than 20,000 students throughout the Hart School District. The Michael Hoefflin Foundation is celebrating 30 years of providing hope, financial assistance and compassionate care to families facing childhood cancer. Soroptimist International of Valencia continues its extraordinary mission of empowering women and girls while supporting local breast cancer patients through its annual Bras for a Cause fundraiser. Their dedication reminds us that when a community comes together, lives are changed.
As always, this issue is packed with stories that celebrate the people, businesses and organizations that make Santa Clarita such an exceptional place to live, work and raise a family. You’ll also find information on exciting community events, local business news, dining, health and fitness, gifts from the heart, home and garden, automotive and our extensive medical section.
Be sure to browse our Business Directory, a valuable resource connecting you with trusted local businesses and professionals who are committed to serving our community. Whether you’re looking for a contractor, financial advisor, attorney, healthcare provider or other local services, you’ll find some of Santa Clarita’s finest businesses within these pages.
With the new school year just around the corner, don’t miss our Kids Education Guide, featuring outstanding educational programs and extracurricular activities designed to help children learn, grow and succeed. Whether you’re looking for academic enrichment, after-school programs or new opportunities for your child, our guide is an excellent place to start.
We encourage you to support the businesses that advertise in Santa Clarita Magazine. Their continued partnership allows us to bring you the positive stories, community news and local events that have been a tradition for over three decades. When you shop locally, you strengthen the businesses that help our community thrive.
We also want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our talented writers, photographers, contributors and everyone who helps bring each issue to life. Most importantly, thank you, our loyal readers. Whether you’ve been with us since our very first issue or have recently discovered Santa Clarita Magazine, we are truly grateful for your continued support.
