2026 Ambassadors

Mobile Recruitment Coordinator for Cape Fera Valley Blood Donor Center. I recruit organizations and individuals within Cumberland, Bladen, Harnett and Hoke Counites to donate blood or set up a blood drive. All blood collected through CFVBDC stays 100% within our community. We only use blood from outside organizations when we are low in supply, and then we purchase blood from them to assist with the need of blood for our community. 

My name is Annmarie Gay, I am originally from Portland Maine and have resided in Fayetteville NC for the past thirty years. My passion and experience have been building relationships and to be of service to others. I am so excited to be turning that community focus toward real estate. As a proud member of Era Strother Real Estate family, I value hard work, integrity, and providing informative solutions to clients in the real estate industry. When I am not making home ownership dreams come true for my clients, I enjoy spending time with my family and community service.

I work with businesses, brands, and organizations from a local, regional and national level to communicate their message to the Fayetteville, NC market and beyond.  Cumulus Media offers a complete portfolio of digital and broadcast solutions as well as out of the box ideas and promotional opportunities.

We are an entertainment company that provides DJ, karaoke and photo booth services.  We also provide DJ Trivia and DJ Bingo for events and restaurants/bars to help boost food and beverage sales.

hi, I’m Justina

I work in media and marketing, but I’m not built for stiff sales pitches or corporate buzzwords. I’m more “let’s brainstorm,” “I’ve got an idea,” and “text me when inspiration hits.”

I build relationships first, bring the energy second, and focus on results always. My brain moves fast (hello ADHD), my best ideas usually hit at the most random times. I thrive in organized chaos, love collaboration, and believe business should feel fun, authentic, and personal — because people buy from people.

Zach joined US Logoworks in 2017 after obtaining a degree in Business Administration. Spending most of his life in the Ft. Bragg/ Fayetteville area, Zach moved to the outskirts of Raleigh and met his wife, Sarah. They married in 2020 and now have two dogs, a cat, seven chickens and a sweet baby girl. While Zach loves promo and merch so much, his wife thinks he has more USL gear than regular clothes. If you see him in the wild, ask him for some swag, because he certainly has it.

My name is Nikki. I'm the owner and founder of ShineLight Inc. We service individuals with autism, both children and adults. I'm also a musician and singer. I love to travel and I love to read.

U.S. Army Retired. General Manager of Omni Military Loans, where we love to say "YES". We provide personal loans from $500.00 to $10,000.00 to active military personal, career retired and DOD civilians. 

I retired in January 2025, at which time the Board of Directors bestowed upon me the lifetime title of Ambassador Emeritus. My career is anchored in my experience as a retired CEO of a Human Services Non-Profit and an Adjunct Professor, where I have bridged the gap between executive leadership and academic instruction.
