EmPower Party

WHAT A NIGHT!
Thanks to your incredible support, GCAPP’s
Empower Party helped power brighter futures
for Georgia’s youth!

Your generosity helps young people across our state access the health, education, and
opportunities they need to thrive—with the knowledge, resources, and confidence to
build strong, healthy lives.

We are deeply grateful to every sponsor, guest, and partner who made this
extraordinary evening possible.

A special thank-you to our Empower Party Co-Chairs, Rand Hagen, Shane Thomas,
and Anna Wick, for their outstanding leadership and dedication as we celebrated 30
years of impact and continue to empower the next generation of Georgia’s youth.

We were also proud to honor our Legacy Award Recipients, Edwina and Tom
Johnson, Sarah and Jim Kennedy, and Ted Turner, for their unwavering commitment
to empowering Georgia’s youth and championing GCAPP’s mission. Their voices,
leadership, and passion continue to inspire lasting change.
