Through March 21, all Sanibel Captiva Community Bank branches are donation drop-off locations for prom dresses and Point Store items benefitting PACE Center for Girls of Lee County.

New and gently loved formal dresses, shoes and accessories are being collected to help outfit the girls in preparation for their prom in May.

New items such as makeup, skin and hair products, art supplies, candles, perfume and bedroom decor are needed to stock the Point Store to provide unique incentives for PACE students to maintain good behavior, attendance and academic achievement.

The Point Store is a critical component of PACE’s positive behavior system used to motivate, encourage and celebrate the good things students are doing at school, home and in the community. Every month, the girls “spend” their earned points on items for themselves or their families at the Point Store located inside the center.

Items may be donated at the following Sanibel Captiva Community Bank branches in Lee County:
