EntSun News/10838475
FORT MYERS, Fla. - EntSun -- Pace Center for Girls, Lee County's virtual dress collection, #MakeSpaceForPace, has raised a record number of fashion-forward apparel for its Love That Dress! shopping event. Initially scheduled for fall 2020, Love That Dress! will now take place in 2021, with a new date to be announced.

The #MakeSpaceForPace campaign encouraged the community to clean out their closets for a cause, helping build an expansive inventory for Pace's highly anticipated shopping event. Nearly 6,000 brand-new and gently loved dresses, separates, shoes, handbags and accessories were donated. These items will later be sold at deeply discounted prices to attendees of Love That Dress!

"We are so honored by the incredible number of donations received through our first #MakeSpaceForPace dress collection," said Jennifer Nelson, chair of the 2020 Love That Dress! event. "While we made the difficult decision to postpone our event, we look forward to unveiling these incredible donations at a later date when we can safely gather for an evening of fun and fashion while helping raise critical funds for Pace programs."
