The Florida Hospital East Florida Region, which encompasses the five Florida Hospitals within Volusia and Flagler counties, presented a check for $3,000 Feb. 12 to the PACE Center for Girls.
“As a nonprofit, we at PACE depend on corporate partners like Florida Hospital to keep our doors open to girls who are in need of an individualized approach to learning,” said Lori Richards, executive director of PACE Center for Girls.
The PACE Center for Girls is a statewide nonprofit organization that provides a non-residential delinquency prevention program, targeting the unique needs of females ages 12 to 18 who are identified as dependent, truant, runaway, delinquent, or in need of academic skills. Every girl at PACE sets individual educational and social goals that are focused on earning a high school diploma or GED, re-entering public school, attending college, getting vocational training, joining the military or entering the private workforce.
“Florida Hospital is proud to partner with PACE, as they work to improve the lives of girls across Volusia and Flagler counties, many of whom are working to overcome challenging background situations,” said JoAnne King, Florida Hospital Flagler chief operating officer. “After meeting some of the girls and touring their modest operation, we knew PACE was just the type of organization that Florida Hospital would be happy to support.”
PACE Volusia-Flagler is located in Ormond Beach and has served more than 1,200 girls from the Volusia/Flagler region since opening in 1996.
