A house RESOLUTION

to recognize February 20, 2025, as 
Pace day at the state capitol in honor of the Pace center for GIRLS' twenty-two 
years of service on behalf of women and girls in need.

Whereas, the Pace Center for Girls was founded in Jacksonville, 
Florida, in 1985 by Vicki Burke, who believed girls were entering the juvenile 
justice system as a consequence of delinquent behavior often caused by trauma; 
and

Whereas, the Pace Center for Girls provides free year-round middle 
and high school academics, case management, counseling, and life skills 
development in a safe and supportive environment that recognizes past trauma 
and builds upon each girl's individual strengths; and

Whereas, this remarkable organization now serves twenty-three 
communities and more than three thousand girls annually throughout Florida, 
Georgia, and South Carolina, giving them the opportunity to secure a better 
future through education, counseling, training, and advocacy; and

Whereas, the Pace Center for Girls values and promotes the female 
perspective by respecting its distinct needs, creating safe and gender 
responsive environments, and celebrating the female experience; and

Whereas, the center's nationally recognized early intervention model 
has proven to be successful in curbing unemployment and lowering the rate at 
which girls return to the juvenile justice system; and

Whereas, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this extraordinary 
organization be appropriately honored during this special time. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South 
Carolina House of Representatives, by this 
resolution, recognize February 20, 2025, as Pace Day at the State Capitol in 
honor of the Pace Center for Girls' twenty-two years of service on behalf of 
women and girls in need.

Be it further resolved that a copy 
of this resolution be presented to the Pace Center for Girls.
