Hundreds celebrated twelve years of Believing in Girls at PACE Pasco's Seventh Annual Friends of PACE Breakfast on Wednesday, April 28, 2010.   This annual event is a heartwarming and inspiring experience as well as an opportunity to learn what PACE is all about from PACE girls, volunteers, and leaders.  Over $18,000 was raised to support PACE Pasco's programs serving at-risk Pasco County teens.

The theme of this year's event was "The Dawn of a New Day", symbolizing the fresh start that PACE girls make by coming to PACE as well as the advent of new leadership at PACE Pasco.

PACE Center for Girls, Inc. is pleased to welcome Grace Dimm as Executive Director of the Pasco Center.

Dimm has over 25 years of management experience in the private, non-profit, and social services sectors.  Most recently, she served as Executive Director of the Gulf Beach Art Center in Indian Rocks Beach, FL.  Previously, she led agencies including ALPHA House of Pinellas County, Inc. and The Salvation Army White Shield Center of Portland, Oregon. "We are confident that Ms. Dimm has the experience, skills, and enthusiasm for our mission that we need to take PACE Pasco to the next level in the twenty-first century," said PACE Pasco Board of Directors Chair Cindy Ewald.  "We are eager to introduce her to our community."  Dimm will be a featured speaker at PACE Pasco's Seventh Annual Friends of PACE Breakfast on April 28, 2010 in New Port Richey.
