On Tuesday, August 12th, Empowered Ideas hosted a LinkedIn Live Raleigh Business Networking Social at the Triangle Rock Club (North Raleigh) — over 150 Triangle area business professionals attended the event to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis. We fund more CF research than any other organization, and nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of Foundation support.
They are a nonprofit donor-supported organization whose mission is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with the disease the opportunity to lead full, productive lives by funding research and drug development, proving individualized treatment, and ensuring access to high-quality, specialized care.
The Foundation’s drug development success has been recognized by Harvard Business School and by publications such as Forbes, Discover magazine, and The Wall Street Journal.
Based in Bethesda, MD., the Foundation funds and accredits a national care center network that has been recognized by the National Institutes of Health as a model of care for a chronic disease. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is one of the most efficient organizations of its kind and is an accredited charity of the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance.
Special thanks to the Triangle Rock Club (TRC) for hosting our event. TRC is home to North Carolina’s premiere indoor climbing and fitness centers, with locations in Morrisville and North Raleigh. Our two, state-of-the-art facilities offer both lead and top rope climbing, expansive bouldering terrain, and a comprehensive fitness area. TRC provides instruction classes, parties, youth Track Out and Summer camp programs, corporate team building events and options for all beginners and world-class climbers alike.

During the last week of July 2014, the Empowered Ideas Team assisted in managing the 2014 North Carolina Foundation for Alcohol and Drug Studies (NCFADS) Summer School Conference in Wilmington, NC — with over 250 substance abuse prevention and treatment professionals from all across the region in attendance.
Event planning and marketing began as soon as the 2014 NCFADS Winter School concluded back in February. And this year's summer school featured a keynote by Actor, Author, and Advocate, Christopher Kennedy Lawford.
In 1978, the N.C. Foundation for Alcohol and Drug Studies was chartered as a private non-profit corporation with the support and encouragement of the N.C. Department of Human Resources, the Alcoholism Professionals of North Carolina (APNC) and the Association of Drug Abuse Prevention (ADAP). The Foundation continues its professional relationship with the organization of Addiction Professionals of North Carolina (APNC) and has expanded its relationship to include other organizations within the state which share a vital interest in the continuing education of substance abuse professionals.
Each year, NCFADS hosts two conferences ("schools"), the annual NCFADS Summer School and the NCFADS Winter School. Each school is designed to serve the needs of many professional groups. Up to three types of school credit (SAC, NBCC, CEU) are included in the school cost.
The Empowered Ideas team is honored to continue planning, managing and marketing the NCFADS Summer and Winter Schools. For more information about NCFADS, please visit www.NCFADS.org
