thank you

Thank You for Walking With Us!

What a morning! The 5th Annual ACC Ohana Walk brought together around 700 friends, families, supporters, volunteers, and community members for a joyful celebration of connection, healthy aging, and the spirit of Ohana—family.

The morning kicked off with inspiring and spirited words from Congresswoman Doris Matsui, Assemblymember Stephanie Nguyen, and Supervisor Patrick Kennedy, followed by the unmistakable sounds of the ACC Taiko Group that got everyone moving!

ACC honored the originators of the Ohana Walk as this year’s Grand Marshals, Wayne and Lynn Kurahara.  Wayne and Lynn made their grand entrance and were honored with fresh orchid leis, a Congressional Record from Congresswoman Doris Matsui, and reserved seating with morning snacks!

A special thank-you to ACC Board Member Jasmine Phu, who kept the morning flowing as our wonderful emcee and brought her own energy and enthusiasm to the celebration.

Congratulations to the Fong Bee Steppers for having the most team members, Beverly Kimura for the largest number of donations, Beverly Kimura again for the most fundraised by individual, and the Sakata Superstars for the most fundraised by a team!

Mahalo to Our Ohana

From the walkers who showed up bright and early, to our incredible volunteers, sponsors, performers, community partners, board members, staff, and everyone who helped make the day possible—thank you!

Your presence helped make the 5th Annual ACC Ohana Walk more than an event. It was a celebration of what happens when a community comes together with compassion, connection, and a shared commitment to healthy aging.

Thank you for being part of our Ohana. We can’t wait to walk with you again!

Ohana is Hawaiian for Family!

What began as a small community walk has grown into one of ACC’s most meaningful annual traditions. Now in its 5th year, the Ohana Walk brings together families, friends, and community partners to celebrate connection, culture, and care for older adults.

ACC’s Ohana Walk is a vibrant celebration of the people who keep us strong—our families, friends, community organizations, and faith partners.

Last year, more than 1,000 participants of all ages came together to walk, connect, and support a shared cause. Their generosity helps ACC continue providing critical programs and services for older adults and their caregivers.

Join us this year and experience the spirit of Aloha while making a difference.  

Join us in honoring the 2026 Grand Marshalls Wayne & Lynn Kurahara!  Wayne and Lynn were the catalysts behind the origin of the first Ohana Walk, desiring to bring the ACC community, our “Ohana”, together in an active way following the pandemic lock-down and to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of ACC.  Their spark has grown into an annual event that celebrates friendship, community and care!
