On September 17th, ACC hosted the ACC Fall Gala with just under 200 people in attendance. The event feature food from local Culinary Partners Binchoyaki, Buckhorn Grill Land Park, Fuji, Kalani Kakes, Sweet Oven Wholesale Bakery, Absolute Compassion Hospice and our very own ACC Chef Tim Hirobayashi! The silent auction featured local artwork, wine-tasting experiences, sports memorabilia, and even an exclusive whisky-tasting and travel package to Nashville!
The evening honored the inaugural ACC Founders Award recipients, Mr. Angelo Tsakopoulos and Congresswoman Doris Matusi. Mr. Tsakopoulos made the dream possible when he donated his 3.5 acres of land that the Care Center sits on today. Congresswoman Doris Matsui and her late husband, Congressman Robert Matsui, were instrumental in taking the idea of culturally sensitive senior care and making it a reality! Without the support of Mr. Tsakopoulos and the Matsui Family, alongside the powerful Bingo volunteers, the ACC Care Center would not be where it is today.
This fantastic event raised over 170k for the Care Center Modernization Fund. This fund will support projects such as acquiring a new emergency generator that meets new state laws, along with the modernization of the lobby and nurses’ station at the 38yr old Care Center. The lobby will honor the gift of Mr. Angelo Tsakopoulous to all who enter.
