On Saturday, September 17, 2022, ACC Senior Services, along with community partners, hosted the ACC 50th Anniversary Ohana Walk. 750 people registered for this event, raising more than $55,000. At 8:00 am, under clear skies and cool weather, walkers young and old set out on the 2.5-mile Greenhaven Pocket Canal Parkway. The six stations along the route provided the perfect place for friends and families to reunite after being away for so long. Following the walk, ACC hosted a picnic on its main campus with food, live music, bingo, pickleball, shaved ice, face painting, and exhibit booths. A big thanks to Wayne Kurahara and the Ohana Walk Workgroup for bringing everyone together on such a perfect day!
