Sanibel, FL (Sept. 15, 2011) – For the second year in a row The Royal Shell Companies along with the merchants of Tahitian Gardens on Sanibel and Mark Blust of The Prawnbroker Restaurant Group have raised over $2000 for PACE Center for Girls of Lee County. Sanibel’s generous residents donated over 250 dresses. Participating merchants donated 10% of their evening sales plus merchandise that was raffled to attendees. Royal Shell realtors and rental agents modeled clothing and visited with those attending. The monies as well as the collected dresses helped PACE achieve a record setting “Love That Dress!” sales figure of $120,000. All the shops, sponsors and volunteers send a heartfelt thank you to all who helped make this another successful collection party.
