Pace Center for Girls Collier celebrates 25 years of helping girls in Immokalee

Marianne Kearns, Executive Director of Pace Collier, who accepted a proclamation from Collier County Commissioners last week acknowledging the 25th anniversary of Pace in Immokalee, is grateful for support she’s received from the county since the organization was formed. 

“The county was very integral in how Pace started in Immokalee 25 years ago. And then the county also participated in the amazing capital campaign which launched us into a beautiful safe haven for the girls [in the new building],” Kearns said. “People drive by the center and they just know that’s Pace Center for Girls and they know about the work that we do and to have the commissioners’ support is wonderful.”
