When Dave Jones, founder of Captive Coaching and Empowerment, asked to be the Presenting Sponsor of Lake Norman Woman magazine’s Woman of the Year Gala benefiting Foster Love Adopt Repeat, it was not about advertising a business … it was about love. Period.
“When I learned that this year’s gala would benefit Foster Love Adopt Repeat,” Dave smiles, “I immediately knew I wanted to be involved. As the father of three adopted daughters, I’ve experienced firsthand the incredible difference a loving, stable family can make. Adoption has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. Every child deserves to know they are wanted, valued, and unconditionally loved, and I’m honored to support an organization that helps make that possible for so many families.”
That same heart for serving others has also shaped the business Dave built. Growing up, he watched his mother face struggles that left a lasting impression on him. Seeing the challenges she endured inspired a lifelong desire to help women recognize their value, heal from past hurts, and discover the confidence to build healthier, more fulfilling lives.
From his mother’s influence to the joy of adopting his daughters, you can see why his support of this year’s gala makes perfect sense. It’s not just about sponsoring an event. It’s about championing women, supporting families, and giving children the opportunity to experience all the beauty this world has to offer.
As we prepare to celebrate extraordinary women from across our communities at our annual Woman of the Year Gala on September 25, we are grateful for sponsors like Dave who understand that our greatest legacy is measured by the lives we touch.
When businesses choose to support causes that strengthen families, empower women, and create brighter futures for children, our entire community benefits; and sometimes the most meaningful sponsorships aren’t about putting your name and logo on an event table. They’re about putting your heart behind a cause … and that is where real change takes place.
