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 dedicated to supporting women and girls in need. Founded in 1985 by Vicki Burke in Jacksonville, Florida, the Pace Center provides free educational programs, case management, counseling, and life skills development in a safe environment that acknowledges past trauma and focuses on each girl's strengths. The organization currently serves over three thousand girls annually across Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.

The resolution highlights the center's commitment to addressing the unique needs of girls, promoting a gender-responsive environment, and its successful early intervention model that has effectively reduced unemployment and recidivism rates among girls in the juvenile justice system. The House of Representatives expresses its appreciation for the Pace Center's contributions and resolves to honor the organization during this special occasion. A copy of the resolution will be presented to the Pace Center for Girls.
