This year for the first time, ACC will host a walkathon on Saturday, September 17, 2022. This event will be one of the ACC 50th Anniversary Celebration events. The ACC 50th Anniversary ‘Ohana Walk not only celebrates the 50th Anniversary but also is designed and intended for the ACC ‘Ohana.
Register for the ACC Ohana Walk
‘Ohana is Hawaiian for “family.” The target audience for participation will include the entire family, especially the children and grandchildren of ACC Seniors, as well as the family and friends of other nonprofit organizations that serve the ACC community.
The ‘Ohana Walk will include different age-bracket divisions from keiki to super seniors. The ‘Ohana Walk will have teams of walkers representing their families and organizations. Walkers will seek pledges in support of their participation in the event. It will feature some friendly competition and include an ‘Ohana T-shirt, lots of prizes, and complementary items. Donors may sponsor a walker for a flat amount or for half mile increments, measured in “checkpoints.” All proceeds of the event will support our residential facilities and our home and community-based programs.
The ‘Ohana Walk will be held at the Greenhaven Pocket Canal Parkway. The entire route is 2.5 miles end-to-end with six Checkpoint Stations, 1⁄2 mile apart. Each Checkpoint Station will be staffed by participating sister organizations. Participants may start and end at any of the Checkpoints where the distances walked will be recorded. Tracking and record-keeping of the pledges will be done with an on-line app designed for walkathon events. Following the ‘Ohana Walk, a celebratory picnic with hot dogs and hamburgers is planned at the ACC Campus.
- All registered walkers will receive an ACC ‘Ohana Walk T-shirt.
- Adults, ages 20 to 79 years old, $35
- Youth, 9 to 19 years old, $15
- Keiki, 8 years and under, and Super Seniors, 80+ years old, FREE
