​ACC President

​ACC's Celebrate the Children fundraiser is the principal contributor to our grant funding program and is awarded immediately to support those in need. 

Last year, ACC granted $220,000 in funds, to over 24 organizations, impacting thousands of Western Washington families that needed assistance in housing, education, adoption, meals, or infant care.  

Please join in support of children and families. Thank you for sharing our vision and helping us carry out ACC’s 100-year tradition of service and compassion.
​
We hope that our generous community will consider the needs of the organizations and individuals that undoubtedly continue to need our support. 
​
​Our 2022 Celebrate the Children goal is $200,000
