Thank you for believing in girls!

On February 24 over 180 guests came together at the Sheratone Fort Lauderdale Airport Hotel to honor PACE Broward and our girls who are working so very hard to overcome thier challenges and be the best that they can be.  

PACE girls Yvette and Caina (left to right in photo) presented a special gift to Elliot Borkson, Leo Goodwin Foundation Trustee.  Mark Snead (right), PACE Broward Board Chair, shared the news that a tree will be planted at the Center in the name of the foundation in appreciation of their 19 years of support!  

Thank you to everyone who made this luncheon possible!
