Denim and Pearls Lifetime of Leadership Celebration
Be Part of Something Impactful
Honor leadership. Empower girls. Help every girl shine.

Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida extends our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made this year's Denim & Pearls: A Lifetime of Leadership Celebration such an extraordinary success.

Together, we gathered on September 9, 2026, at the GROVE in Lakewood Ranch, to honor three remarkable women whose leadership, service, and commitment to community embody the very values we strive to instill in every Girl Scout. Congratulations to our distinguished honorees Linda Carson Angel Colonneso, Esq., and Carolyn J. Mason, whose inspiring stories remind us of the power of courage, confidence, and character to create lasting change.

We wish to express our gratitude to this year’s presenting sponsor, Publix Super Markets Charities. The success of Denim & Pearls would not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors, donors, and community partners. Your investment in Girl Scouts helps ensure local girls have access to life-changing experiences that prepare them to become the leaders our communities need today and tomorrow. We are also deeply grateful to every attendee who joined us in celebration. Your presence, enthusiasm, and support helped create an unforgettable afternoon while advancing opportunities for girls across our region.

Because of you, Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida can continue empowering girls to discover their strengths, develop leadership skills, and make a positive impact in their communities. Thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us create a brighter future for every girl.

Together, we can ensure every girl has the opportunity to thrive, lead, and make a difference. Make your gift today and help create a brighter future for girls across our communities.
