The Asian Community Development Council’s first inaugural InspirAsian Gala was held on Friday, December 3rd at the Champagne Ballroom at the Paris Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

The gala was filled with cultural performances, great food, and an exciting silent auction with 48 different items! ACDC was able to raise critical funds for a future health clinic and continued food distribution efforts to tackle food insecurity. Accessible health care services for the uninsured and underinsured are vital for our community and ACDC is excited to launch our long-awaited health clinic in 2022 with the community’s support.
The sponsors for InspirAsian Gala 2021 included NV Energy Foundation, ZAAPI Zappos Asian & Pacific Islander, LAS Airport, Clark County Commissioner Justin Jones, NEXREP, RTCNV, Southwest Gas, and all of the staff and supporters who helped make this event possible!
