It is an inspiring hour as girls, staff, and community leaders will each share how Pace is changing lives right here in Manatee County. Last year, Kennedy and Kiya each shared personal stories of strength for overcoming trauma, and we are proud to share that they both graduated from Pace this year. They are preparing for college and are no longer defined by their past — their futures are now filled with promise!

At last year’s event, over 200 community leaders came together and broke a new record exceeding $100,000 in funds raised, with an additional $15,000 commitment to our Capital Campaign. An opportunity to match the first $500 of each donation is available through a partnership with the Flanzer Trust. With Pace breaking ground on a new Center this Fall, growth and new beginnings will be highlighted, inviting everyone to join the Believing in Girls Giving Society to help Pace find the great in every girl.

We still have a few opportunities available for Table Hosts and Sponsors.  For more information, please reach out to Christi Haley, Development Director at Christi.Haley@pacecenter.org, or call 941-751-4566.
