Love That Dress! Lee County Raises $120,000 to help the PACEGirls - PACE Center for Girls.

Nearly 900 guests in search of bargain priced dresses and a fun time attended the third installment of Lee County's Love That Dress! on Wednesday, August 31 at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Estero.

Co-chaired by Christin Collins and Amy Sanford and presented by title sponsor WHITE HOUSE BLACK MARKET the event offered over 4,000 new and gently worn dresses, hundreds of designer shoes and a lavish silent auction helping to raise over $120,000 for PACE Center for Girls of Lee County. From the total raised, $5,000 will be allocated to PACE Lee's capital campaign fund to open a new Center in the coming years.

 

"We could not be more thrilled with the results of Love That Dress! From the first dress collection party hosted in March until the big day, the community really stepped-up to make this the ultimate feel-good shopping spree of the year," said Collins, "We so appreciate our hardworking volunteers for committing to this labor of love to help our PACE girls."
