Las Vegas Sands Corp continues to be a community leader and seek out those communities that need support the most
Las Vegas Sands Corp announced it is donating under the Sands Cares community engagement program to Nevada’s Asian Community Development Council. The company said allocated $250,000 on Wednesday to the Healthy Asian Pacific Islanders Medical Center, as well as development programs for high schoolers and college students.
LVS Maintains Its Role with Asian Communities
The company has been providing support to ACDC’s College Readiness Program and overall educational programs in the past, looking to help specifically boost community initiatives. Previously, Sands supported the ACDC in 2021, helping it launch the Language Link and then open the HAPI Medical Center in 2022. In a statement, ACDC president and founder Vida Lin said:
“Sands has been an integral contributor to the impact we have achieved through the API Language Link and the HAPI Medical Center. We appreciate the company’s understanding of our community’s unique needs and its willingness to invest in helping us overcome the challenges people face, as well as in ensuring the young people in our community receive mentorship and developmental opportunities to successfully pursue their goals.”
The ACDC has already made significant progress thanks to the funding, with 260 patients served by the initiative in 2024 alone thanks to the HAPI Medical Center and carried out more than 500 vaccinations.
In the meantime, the API Language Link offers the AANHPI community with translation services in 11 languages. Sands Cares also backs another part of the ACDC initiative – the College Readiness Bootcamp, which is a series of workshops hosted at the University of Nevada.
The program now also has a dedicated track for students who are interested in vocational paths, all thanks to Sands’ increased funding of the cause.
Targeted Help for Those in Need
Another important and impactful aspect of these efforts is that the API Language Link has enrolled more than 1,200 people in qualified health plans and assisted 3,300 people with voter registration in Clark County, and another 480 people in Washoe County.
Sands Senior VP of global communications and corporate affairs, Ron Reese, has similarly welcomed the opportunity to see the ACDC services rendered to AANHPI communities, and especially those that need health care and food.
“We increased our funding in 2025 because ACDC’s desire to create vocational pathways for young people completely aligns with our focus on workforce development and providing resources to fit all types of skills, jobs, and careers,” Reese concluded.
