A Race for Pace kickoff party is being held tonight for the whole community, where people can register for the upcoming event and learn more about Pace School.

School programs that are funded by the race's proceeds will be showcased during the event.

Pace School focuses on educating children who have emotional difficulties brought on by trauma or those students who face obstacles from autism and other mental issues.

The kickoff party is from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the school, located just behind the Woodland Hills School District building.
