FORT MYERS, Fla. - Feb. 17, 2025 - PRLog -- Pace Center for Girls, Lee recently hosted its "Every Girl Deserves" Community Open House Feb. 13 at the Pace Center for Girls in Fort Myers. The event invited members of the community to visit the center and be inspired while learning about the vision for the capital campaign, which focuses on repairs and renovations to Pace's L. Gail Markham Building in Fort Myers.

The Every Girl Deserves Capital Improvement Campaign addresses critical needs identified within the center, including creating a secure visitor entrance, upgrading communication systems and making essential repairs to the building following damage from Hurricane Ian. Other key projects focus on promoting health and wellness, such as replacing HVAC units for improved air quality and making outdoor upgrades to add new recreational space, including a new basketball court and seating for counseling sessions.
