SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - ACC Senior Services, a local 501(c)3 nonprofit, is proud to take part in Sacramento’s annual Big Day of Giving with a vibrant four-hour live stream telethon on May 1.

The telethon will be all about celebrating community, culture and compassion for older adults.  

ACC Senior Services has set a goal of raising $400,000 to help support and expand their award-winning senior services.  Like many nonprofits, ACC is still navigating the lingering effects of the COVID crisis and ongoing economic challenges and needs the public’s help.

The telethon, which will stream live on YouTube and Facebook from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., will showcase an array of local talent and engaging segments including musical performances by local favorites such as the Pocket Pickers and Maeley Tom, heartfelt storytelling from the ACC community, fitness and wellness spotlights from ACC instructors and a special cooking demonstration by Chef Toki Sawada of the beloved local Japanese restaurant, Binchoyaki.

Alongside the entertainment, the telethon will spotlight ACC’s vital resources and educational programs that support Sacramento’s growing senior population. 

Viewers will hear directly from staff, volunteers and community members about the impact ACC has made on our community over the past 50 years, and how your donations can help expand that mission.  

It is a great opportunity to learn more about the array of services ACC offers the community.

“We’re excited to celebrate this day of generosity with music, food, and meaningful stories,” said Scott Okamoto, ACC Senior Services Marketing and Fund Development Director. 

“It’s not just about giving; it’s about coming together to uplift and support our elders.”

Adding to the festivities, ACC is hosting a food and bake sale, featuring an assortment of homemade and local treats. Pre-sales are open now at www.accsv.org/bdog2025.

Donations to the nonprofit can be made online anytime at www.accsv.org/bdog2025. 

On May 1, the Big Day of Giving, donations can be made through the website bigdayofgiving.org/accseniorservices. 

Donations can also be dropped off in person at ACC Senior Services, 7334 Park City Drive, Sacramento.

Whether you give early or join the movement on May 1, every contribution helps ACC continue to empower seniors to live independently, stay active, and feel connected in a supportive environment.

Join ACC in making this Big Day of Giving one to remember.
