Join us virtually for our Back-to-School Sock Hop to raise funds for Pace Pinellas. Dancers will dance for 2-hour increments or for SIX hours to help provide girls in Pinellas County with a better future. You can support your favorite dancer by pledging $5 for every song he/she dances to, by making a general donation, and/or by cheering them on virtually! The entire event will be streamed live and the link to join the party will be posted on event day.

Prizes will be awarded for the Most Entertaining Dancer, Top Fundraiser, Best Costume and The Last Dancer Standing.

All monies raised will benefit the girls at Pace Pinellas, like Anneyah.

Anneyah's Story:

Anneyah started Pace Pinellas in the summer of 2019 as a truant, isolated teen who had over 166 classroom absences in just 69 days. She became so independent that she refused help from others and avoided meeting new people. After a year and half of being at Pace Pinellas and fully emerged in an individualized academic plan, social services care, and hands-on community focused experiences, Anneyah's trajectory has turned from unstable to promising. Now as a 16 year old senior, Anneyah is on track to graduate early in the spring of 2021. Anneyah shares that gaining the confidence from Pace to be involved in activities that she previously shied away from has helped her grow in ways she never thought possible. She has represented our center at Pace Day at the Capitol in Tallahassee, been the chair of our Girls Leadership Council at Pace Pinellas and a state-wide representative to the other centers, been selected as a top student to participate in Pace's annual All About Girls Summit, and led numerous center tours, board conversations, and meetings with area legislators. As a role model, encourager, and friend to everyone at Pace Pinellas, we're proud to see her accomplishing goals and looking towards her bright future ahead.

Your donation will help girls just like Anneyah actualize their dreams buy providing them with the resources they need.
