A special collaboration at the 2026 Bands, Brews & BBQ Festival Presented by deBotech turned a shared love for community and animals into meaningful support for a local nonprofit. Through the festival’s annual Brews with a Cause initiative, deBotech presented Lake Norman Humane with a donation of $5,000, generated through sales of a specially crafted beer, Golden Opportunity, brewed by Mooresville’s Ghostface Brewing.
Each year, the festival’s presenting sponsor, deBotech, selects a nonprofit organization to benefit from the proceeds of the special Brews with a Cause brew, creating an opportunity to support a local cause while bringing the community together. This year, Lake Norman Humane was selected as the beneficiary and was on site during the festival sharing information about its organization, mission and work to improve the lives of animals throughout the Lake Norman community.
The name Golden Opportunity carries a special meaning. deBotech and Lake Norman Humane collaborated to select a name inspired by a three-legged Golden Retriever for whom deBotech manufactured a custom carbon fiber prosthetic leg. The dog’s story represents the possibilities that innovation, compassion and collaboration can create, and served as the inspiration for this year’s specialty brew and its can design.
The partnership brought together two organizations making a difference in unique ways: Lake Norman Humane through its commitment to animal welfare and deBotech through its innovative engineering and manufacturing capabilities. Together, they helped turn a creative festival offering into an opportunity to raise funds and awareness for animals in need.
Lake Norman Humane works to improve the lives of animals through rescue, adoption, education and community outreach. The proceeds from Golden Opportunity will support the organization’s continued efforts to care for animals, provide resources and connect pets with loving homes.
deBotech has served as the presenting sponsor of Bands, Brews & BBQ since 2023, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to the Town of Mooresville and the surrounding community. Its continued support makes signature festival experiences and charitable initiatives like Brews with a Cause possible.
