The 2026 ACC Ohana Walk was filled with sunshine, smiles, music, friendship—and most importantly, ohana. Thanks to everyone who walked, volunteered, sponsored, donated, cheered us on, hosted a booth, performed, shared our message, or simply showed up to be part of this incredible community celebration.

Together, we raised more than $75,000, with over $52,000 going directly to ACC’s Home and Community Based Programs, helping older adults remain connected, supported and independent in the community.

After several months of uncertainty, ACC’s Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) has officially resumed operations following a temporary funding disruption earlier this year. In July 2025, a nationwide freeze on the release of federal funds, despite prior congressional approval, caused an unexpected suspension of SCSEP activities.

This year’s event featured an enthusiastic turnout of families, community leaders, and supporters, all walking together to honor seniors and promote healthy lifestyles. The festive atmosphere included cultural performances, wellness resources, and activities for participants of all ages, creating a meaningful and family-friendly experience.

Life can throw unexpected challenges our way—whether it’s the loss of a loved one, declining health, or feeling disconnected from others. For many older adults, these changes can lead to feelings of sadness and loneliness. That’s where PEARLS comes in.
