On a sunny Saturday in November, nearly 100 high school students joined the Winter Park Health Foundation at our Center for Health & Wellbeing for our first-ever Gold Star Girls: Day to Shine, organized in partnership with Orlando Pride, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida and Pace Center for Girls. 

The event was filled with: 

  • Confidence-boosting mental health sessions 
  • Hands-on nutrition demos 
  • High-energy dance tutorials 
  • Real conversations about passion, purpose and presence (on social media)
  • A celebratory fashion show
  • People Bingo (with prizes!)

… and so much more. 

We are grateful to every partner, presenter and participant who made this experience unforgettable.

Here’s to creating spaces where all girls feel strong, supported and unstoppable!
