Join us as we celebrate 35+ years of changing girls’ lives right here in Manatee County - honoring the past, celebrating the present and dreaming boldly into the future. Guests will be greeted with a glass of champagne to raise in a heartfelt toast—to the strength, courage, and success of our girls, and to the foundation of our brand-new Pace Center!

Former Pace Girls will join us for pre-luncheon networking, sharing where they are now and how Pace gave them not only hope for the future, but also the tools they needed to thrive. We are deeply honored to welcome Pace Founder Vicki Burke, whose courageous vision to transform the juvenile justice system has changed the lives of more than 40,000 girls and counting, with over 2,000 right here in Manatee County.

We promise you’ll leave with a full heart, renewed purpose, and a spark to make a difference. In past years, this incredible event has brought together over 250 passionate community leaders and raised more than $100,000 to support our mission.

With the foundation now laid and construction underway, this is a moment of momentum and new beginnings. We invite you to join our Believing in Girls Giving Society and stand beside us as we continue to Find the Great in Every Girl.
