"A Beat of Our Own" Show and Exclusive Reception
SACSS has empowered and integrated underserved immigrant families, older adults, women, and youth through food security, healthcare access, mental health, workforce development, and essential social services for over 26 years. Started by a South Asian to help South Asian underserved communities; SACSS has grown to be the largest provider of FREE end-to-end social services serving the underserved. Today, SACSS serves over 350,000 individuals annually. This year's SACSS celebration is especially meaningful. Hosted at the 96-year-old Tony Award-winning McCarter Theatre Center, it coincides with the theatre's first-ever South Asian musical, A Beat of Our Own—a landmark moment celebrating storytelling, culture, and community.

Your support is more than a contribution—it is a catalyst for opportunity, dignity, and hope. Together, we can nourish families, empower individuals, strengthen communities, and transform lives for generations to come.
You can extend your impact even further by exploring employer matching opportunities. Many companies offer workplace giving and matching gift programs that can double—or even triple— the value of charitable donations. We invite you to explore your company's matching gift opportunities to maximize your impact in support of SACSS's mission.
Tax Note:
A direct charitable donation made to SACSS is generally fully tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law, whereas event tickets and auction purchases may only be partially deductible because goods or services are received in return.
