Pappas has made a positive impact in the lives of girls ages 11-18 over her 29 years with PACE. She inspired the chapter to continue doing the good work of raising money to support their programs since they have a high success rate of transforming these young girls into productive citizens. The Narcissus Chapter presented Pappas with a $500 scholarship check as a part of their tradition with the PACE program of Broward County. The scholarship is awarded to a senior who is entering a nursing program.

As Audrey Hepburn said: “For beautiful eyes, look; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone for the good in others.”
