The PACE Center for Girls recently won two awards from Florida Public Relations Association Southwest Florida Chapter for their fundraiser “Love That Dress.”

The PACE Center for Girls recently won two awards for their “Love That Dress” fundraiser.

“Love That Dress” won an Award of Distinction and an Image Award from the Florida Public Relations Association Southwest Florida Chapter. The fundraiser collects gently used dresses, handbags, shoes and accessories to empower at-risk girls. All proceeds benefit the PACE Center.

The PACE Center for Volusia-Flagler is also receiving a spring outdoor makeover thanks to Austin Outdoor. The company will repair the sprinkler system and design some plantings free of charge May 30.

“Budget cuts during previous years left us without funds to keep the outside of the school very pretty,” Executive Director Lori Richards said. “Of course we focus on the classroom and social service needs of our girls first. We’re very excited that Austin Outdoor is coming to make sure the outside is welcoming and inviting for our students and families.  This is a much needed make over.”
