PACE’s executive director, Jennifer Cellitti, spoke to WINK News about the event. “When these girls come to us they feel like they have no hope and when they leave they have gained confidence, they’re able to advocate for themselves they’re able to speak what they need and so, in turn, they’re able to be successful in life,” Cellitti said. The event featured feel-good shopping, music, silent auctions, and cocktails. All proceeds benefitted PACE programs and services.
