The South Asian Council for Social Services (SACSS) was honored to be one of the two nonprofit organizations recognized at the renowned All That Glitters Diwali Ball, hosted by Anjula Acharia, a pioneer and the CEO of A-Series Investments and Management.
SACSS Founder and Executive Director Sudha Acharya attended this phenomenal and star-studded event that brought together leaders, creators, and changemakers from across the South Asian diaspora. Anjula, who has long championed South Asian representation in mainstream culture, created a space where the community could come together to celebrate the Festival of Lights and to honor those dedicated to service.
