Love That Dress! features shopping and silent auctions with all proceeds benefiting Pace programs and services in Lee County. With a series of social events to help build inventory, the fundraising event culminates with whatâs described as the ultimate feel-good shopping spree of the year.
Proceeds from Love That Dress! provide academic programs and counseling services to girls and young women ages 11 to 18 who are working to overcome risk factors such as poverty, substance abuse, domestic violence, foster home placement, neglect, grief, incarceration of a family member, mental health and physical, emotional or sexual abuse.
In August 2021, the Love That Dress! fundraiser featured a record-breaking collection of 9,000 high-quality, brand-new boutique and gently used dresses, shoes, handbags and accessories, helping raise $65,000. Pace Lee also brought 15 Pace girls to join the Love That Dress! fun, providing a special shopping session with opportunities for the girls to dress up, shop and honor the female spirit.
