Florida Gators Volleyball and Quality Plumbing Team Up

When the Florida Gators Volleyball team takes the court this season, each ace will mean more than just a point on the board. Through “Ace for Pace”, Quality Plumbing will donate $20 for every ace the team serves to benefit Pace Center for Girls, Alachua — a local nonprofit that empowers at-promise middle and high school girls through education, counseling, and social-emotional support.

This cause-marketing initiative reflects Quality Plumbing’s deep commitment to the communities it serves and its belief in giving back through meaningful partnerships.

“Our team is passionate about making a difference, and Pace Alachua is doing life-changing work for young women,” said Preston Nazworth, President of Quality Plumbing. “Ace for Pace is more than a campaign — it’s an opportunity to rally Gator fans around a mission-driven cause that helps girls in our community realize their full potential.”

Pace Center for Girls offers year-round education, counseling, and career readiness programs giving these young ladies the tools they need to succeed academically and personally.

“We are incredibly grateful to Quality Plumbing and the Florida Gators Volleyball team for choosing to champion our girls through this campaign,” said Heidi Keegan, Executive Director of Pace Alachua. “Every ace represents more than a point — it’s a step forward for a girl discovering her strength, her voice, and her path to a brighter future.”

The “Ace for Pace” initiative is proudly managed by LEARFIELD’s Florida Gators Sports Properties, the exclusive multimedia rights holder for the University of Florida Athletic Association (UAA).

“Quality Plumbing has shown a deep commitment to both the Gators and our local community,” said Darren McPhail, General Manager of Florida Gators Sports Properties. “We’re excited to launch “Ace for Pace” — a campaign that not only fires up the fans but delivers meaningful impact right here at home through Pace Alachua.”

The 2025 Volleyball season kicks off August 22, 2025. Fans are encouraged to follow the Volleyball – Florida Gators this season as each ace helps raise funds and awareness for Pace’s mission. Donation progress and campaign highlights will be shared throughout the season on Quality Plumbing’s social media platforms and through game-day promotions.
