Why do you support PACE Broward?
When Joyce and I moved to Fort Lauderdale ten years ago, Joyce was anxious to become active in a cause that she believed in. Having been affiliated with many charitable organizations in New Jersey, we have always favored those in which we could actually see results from our efforts.

Why do you support PACE Broward?
The girls! It brings tears to your eyes listening to their stories and how PACE has helped them overcome the challenges in their young lives. I can hardly believe that it has been eighteen years since I first visited PACE Broward. The Center was located in a commercial storefront with an assortment of donated furniture. I was impressed when I met the staff and girls and heard what they wanted to accomplish.
