Donate, Decorate, Empower!
At Girls Place, we believe that every young girl deserves to be inspired, empowered, and nurtured so that she can grow into a courageous, strong, and independent woman. That’s why we’ve been celebrating and serving girls for over 40 years in Alachua County. Through our essential programs and services, we serve as a bridge for many girls in our community, guiding them from childhood to womanhood—empowering and preparing them to become the leaders of tomorrow.
We need your support to move our mission forward and continue to grow.
On Saturday, June 20, our Girls Place community will come together to DECORATE, DONATE AND EMPOWER at our 21st Hats, Hearts & Handbags (HHH) fundraising event at the O’Connell Center in Gainesville! We celebrate the mission of Girls Place and generate the financial resources needed to continue our essential programs and services.
Every penny from this event goes directly into programs that help our girls thrive. Our programs—ACHIEVE, After School, Athletics, BrainPower, and Summer Day Camp—provide girls ages 5-14 with a safe and nurturing environment; a place where they make lifelong friends, learn about themselves and others, and discover the impact they can make on the world.
We have a variety of ways you can support! If you’re interested in getting involved this year, visit http://www.girlsplace.net/hhh
