Each year, our Grande Dames Tea celebrates extraordinary women who embody the spirit and resilience we instill in our Pace girls. This year, we are thrilled to honor Ruby, Gail, and Donna - three women whose bold dedication and contributions have truly transformed our community and set an example for all of us.
Ruby’s compassion and dedication to serving others are reflected in her five decades of nursing at Lee Health. Gail is a passionate advocate who has helped create systemic change across our community. Donna’s trailblazing philanthropy and vision have helped launch scholarships and vital programs for students in Lee County.
We look forward to hearing the unique perspectives and powerful insights these women have gained throughout their life journeys as they share their wisdom with our Pace girls.
Your support as an event sponsor is more vital than ever as we help our students overcome histories of trauma, academic challenges, and family instability to achieve dreams beyond what they believed possible. The generosity of our event sponsors helps us advance our mission of providing education, counseling, training and advocacy to our community’s most vulnerable girls.
