The bill H. 3985 is a House Resolution recognizing February 20, 2025, as Pace Day at the South Carolina State Capitol. This resolution honors the Pace Center for Girls for its twenty-two years of service to women and girls in need. Founded in 1985 by Vicki Burke in Jacksonville, Florida, the Pace Center addresses the challenges faced by girls entering the juvenile justice system, often due to trauma. The organization provides free educational programs, case management, counseling, and life skills development in a supportive environment, serving over three thousand girls annually across Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.

The resolution highlights the center's commitment to promoting the female perspective and creating safe, gender-responsive environments that celebrate the female experience. It also acknowledges the center's successful early intervention model, which has been effective in reducing unemployment and recidivism rates among girls in the juvenile justice system. The resolution concludes by stating that a copy of this resolution will be presented to the Pace Center for Girls, recognizing its significant contributions to the community.
