Neal Communities adopts ducks through $5,000 sponsorship for Lucky Duck Race for Pace
BRADENTON, Fla. — For the fourth consecutive year, Neal Communities, southwest Florida’s premier, private homebuilder, is partnering with Pace Center for Girls of Manatee County as a Diamond Duck sponsor of the nonprofit’s Lucky Ducky Race for Pace.
Neal Communities did more than just donate $5,000 for the cause. Every year, the builder’s team members also host a team to adopt rubber ducks, raising even more funds to help the Pace Center for Girls of Manatee County change the lives of teenage girls in Manatee County.
On May 11 at Caddy’s at the Pointe in Bradenton, more than 25,000 adopted rubber ducks will float down the Manatee River, winning its owner prizes. The 10th year running, the Lucky Ducky Race for Pace raised more than $150,000 last year.
“We are grateful that Neal Communities believes in our mission,” said Amy Wick Mavis, executive director of Pace Center for Girls of Manatee County. “They not only support Pace Center for Girls of Manatee County financially but their staff also contributes their time by helping with special events for our girls and their families. As a Diamond sponsor of the Lucky Ducky Race for Pace, their support provides much-needed funds for our program and necessities, such as uniforms and transportation to school. Partners like Neal Communities, who invest their resources as well as their time, show our Pace girls how dedicated our community is to their success.”
Pace Center for Girls of Manatee County is a year-round school that provides girls and young women an opportunity for a better future through education, counseling, training and advocacy. The comprehensive program integrates social services and education in an individualized manner, and it is recognized nationally as the most effective program in the country for keeping adolescent girls out of the juvenile justice system. Pace Center for Girls of Manatee County uses a strengths-based approach that harnesses the unique potential of each girl with a focus on future outcomes.
