ABOUT THE EVENT

The Largest Fundraiser of the Year

Big Day of Giving is a 24-hour fundraising event that supports local nonprofits in the Sacramento region. BDOG enhances community-building and collaboration among area non-profits, organized by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation with backing from partners like Western Health Advantage and generous individuals like you!

Annually, the Big Day of Giving is ACC’s largest fundraiser of the year and enables us to continue to offer many of our services and programs at low-to-no cost to our participants. From participants and volunteers with ACC Rides and Senior Escort Program, to residents of ACC Skilled Nursing and Independent Living – your donation makes a direct impact in our community!

You can make a big difference in our community with your generous gift of $10, $100, $1000 or more. 

With your generous support, we were able to raise over $293,336 before Midnight on May 1st.
Ranking ACC as #4 out of 855 nonprofits participating!

Thanks to your continued generosity of our community, ACC Senior Services has been able to serve older adults in the Sacramento region with dignity, compassion, and care for over 50 years.

Because of donors like you, every day we’re able to offer vital programs that help seniors live independently, stay active, and feel connected in a supportive environment. But like many nonprofits, we’re still navigating the lingering effects of the COVID crisis and ongoing economic challenges.

That’s why we’re reaching out to ask for your renewed support during our biggest fundraising event of the year—the Big Day of Giving on May 1st. It will be a day of inspiration and celebration, our annual Livestream Telethon will feature live performances, community stories, and the many ways ACC is transforming the lives of local seniors.  Back by popular demand, we will be offering food sales at the ACC Campus from 12-4pm. 

We hope you’ll consider making a gift to support:

  • Expanding our health and wellness programs for seniors
  • Providing essential resources for caregivers
  • Helping older adults age safely and confidently in their own homes

Every dollar counts—whether it’s $10, $100, $1000 or more—your continued commitment ensures that seniors in our community receive the care, support, and connection they deserve.
