Thank You Sponsors and Donors for Empowering GOC Gastonia's 2026 CAPA Rides
GOC Gastonia is thankful to all the sponsors and donors whose generosity helped make the 2026 Spring and Fall CAPA Rides possible.
The "CAPA" Rides, held in support of Child Abuse Prevention & Awareness, bring riders, families, volunteers, businesses, and community members together for a shared purpose. Proceeds from the 2026 Spring and Fall rides will help fund GOC Gastonia’s ongoing work with local children and families who are living with the real and lasting effects of abuse.
While the rides are visible community events, GOC Gastonia leaders say the support behind them begins long before motorcycles line up. Sponsors, donors, volunteers, and ride supporters help cover event needs, contribute funds, offer goods and services, and make it possible for more of the money raised to go toward the organization’s mission.

While we can't logistically post all of them, here are some generous moments from 2026 that we would love to highlight, some from the Spring CAPA ride, and some from the most recent Fall CAPA ride. There are also many donors who donate anonymously.

Every sponsor and donor (and the anonymous ones too) become part of the work. Their names, gifts, time, and care are connected to something larger than a single event. They help build a circle of support around children who need safety, consistency, and compassion.
Funds raised support programs and events for local families
The money raised through the 2026 Spring and Fall CAPA Rides will help fund GOC Gastonia’s programs and events that support local children and families affected by abuse.
