More than 200 ACC faculty and staff gathered at Eastview Campus to celebrate health, happiness, and camaraderie at Wellness Fest 2025.

The courtyard buzzed with energy as over 30 vendors shared wellness resources, handed out swag, and offered tips for healthy living. Meanwhile, the lawn was transformed into a lively field day, where teams competed in spirited events like spoon races, 8-leg races, frisbee golf, and basketball.

When the dust settled, Team Eastview emerged victorious once again, claiming the coveted Campus Cup for the third year in a row. HLC and HBC tied for second place, and Northridge followed closely behind in third.

One of the day’s highlights was a high-energy line dance lesson from the Ambassadors of Joy, who debuted their newly choreographed JEM Shuffle. And in what may go down as the most entertaining moment of the afternoon, R.B. the Riverbat faced off with Blue Cross Blue Shield’s Blue Bear in a fiercely adorable Mascot Dance Battle. (Do we even need to say who won?)

Wellness Fest also celebrated participants in the Exercise Stars Challenge, where staff tracked their physical activity. Congratulations to:

  • Kayla Beltran – Most minutes in the Beginner category
  • Dee Kurugu – Most minutes in the Intermediate category
  • Nick Caspers – An incredible 11,500 minutes in the Expert category!

Northridge Campus took home bragging rights for logging the most total exercise minutes across all categories.

The Exercise Stars program is all about moving more—at your own pace and on your own terms. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro, there’s a place for you. Stay tuned for the next challenge coming early next year!
