Thanks, dads—for being present, and for loving and respecting our mothers. That’s the biggest gift you’ve given us.

Today, we also remember: not every child grows up witnessing that kind of love, safety, and respect at home.

At Fort Bend Women’s Center, we stand with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault—offering shelter, support, and a path toward healing and hope.

If you or someone you know needs help, you are not alone.

We reflect on the strength, sacrifice, and courage of those who came before us, while also recognizing the work that remains to ensure every individual and family has access to safety, support, and opportunity.

At Fort Bend Women’s Center, we remain committed to serving our community with compassion, resources, and hope. Every call answered through our 24-Hour Crisis Hotline and every life impacted is made possible through the support of those who believe in our mission.

Fort Bend Women’s Center staff and Board members joined our partners at PCCA to celebrate the life and legacy of Dave Sparks.

As family, friends, and colleagues shared their memories, one message resonated throughout the gathering:

Dave lived a life dedicated to serving others. His generosity, leadership, and compassion touched countless lives and left a lasting imprint on our community.

Dave was a devoted supporter of Fort Bend Women’s Center, giving generously of his time, talents, and resources. His belief in our mission helped strengthen our organization and expand the support available to survivors and their families.

𝗔𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗘𝗢, 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗵 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻, 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱:

“Dave Sparks leaves an enduring legacy at Fort Bend Women’s Center, both personally and professionally. Through his unwavering support and deep commitment to helping others, thousands of lives have been saved, strengthened, and rebuilt. Fort Bend Women’s Center would not be where it is today without Mr. Sparks’ vision, generosity, and belief in our mission. We are forever grateful for his contributions and extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Sparks family.”

We are deeply grateful for Dave’s friendship, generosity, and commitment to making our community stronger. His legacy lives on through the lives he touched, the organizations he championed, and the hope he helped create for so many.

Our thoughts remain with the Sparks family as we honor his memory and celebrate a life well lived.

Together, we continue building a community where help is available and hope is possible.

ASKING FOR HELP IS COURAGE.

The moment you reach out, you’ve already taken a brave step forward.

If you’ve made the call.
If you’ve sent the message.
If you’ve told someone you trust.
If you’ve taken even the smallest step toward safety.

That is courage.

Not later. Not when everything feels figured out.
Right now.

Courage doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like asking for help.

At Fort Bend Women’s Center, we see that courage every day—and we’re here when you’re ready.

We are so grateful to Sartartia Middle School and the amazing 6th grade students who joined us for their Day to Serve with FBWC.

The students learned about our mission and the importance of promoting awareness around respectful relationships. They then helped us bring that message to life by decorating denim pieces that will be displayed to help spark community conversations and raise awareness.

We are truly thankful for these young volunteers who showed up with creativity, kindness, and enthusiasm. A special thank you as well to the dedicated staff and volunteer parents who supported and guided the students throughout the day.

Partnerships like this remind us that change starts early—and grows stronger together.

💙 Thank you, Sartartia Middle School!
