In addition to the monetary donations, the LCBA collected 257 dresses for PACE to sell at its annual Love that Dress! fundraiser, set to take place Aug. 27 at the Embassy Suites in Estero. An additional 100 items, including shoes and accessories, were collected at the after party. The LCBA’s Fourth Anuual Charity Golf Tournament, which also included a lunch-time silent and live auction, raised more funds for charity than any other single event held in the LCBA’s 65-year history. PACE Center for Girls is a non-residential prevention and intervention program targeting the unique needs of girls, ages 12 to 18, facing challenges such as physical and sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, foster care, neglect, death of a parent, family history of incarceration and declining grades.
