On November 14, 2025, acclaimed actress Jane Fonda took the stage at the GCAPP's 30th annual EmPower Party and gala event to express her deep gratitude for her ex-husband, Ted Turner. Fonda, who co-founded the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power and Potential (GCAPP) in 1995, revealed that the organization would not have survived without Turner's steadfast support.
"It was a very challenging time in Georgia. Had I not been with Ted, this was something, had he not stood by me with his love and support, we never would have survived," Fonda said. Though the 86-year-old Turner was not present at the gala, he was named among the event's honorees, a testament to the lasting impact of his involvement.
Fonda and Turner were married from 1991 to 2001, a period during which the actress put her Hollywood career on the backburner to focus on their relationship and charitable work. Now, nearly 25 years after their divorce, Fonda continues to cherish the support Turner provided during their time together, crediting him as a crucial pillar in the success of the GCAPP.
