Please make your donation to The Princess Project today!*
The air has turned crisp, the leaves a little orange (well… in some places!), and school is back in session. And, over here at The Princess Project, we’ve headed back, too, to start planning PROM 2011!

Like many of our teens, we eagerly anticipate the spring and the bustle of tulle and satin it brings. The Princess Project is now in its 9th year, and hopes to serve over 3,000 teens, adding to the 15,000 we’ve already served! Our goal is simple: to make sure every one of our participants feels supported by our community, and is able to attend prom in the ideal dress (with an accessory to complete the look)! But, like any important task, this takes help from a multitude of resources, including you!

The Princess Project is a 100% volunteer-run organization, and we depend on a variety of donations to help make dreams real. One important type is financial. While we keep our overhead costs very low —a $25 donation to The Princess Project sends a teen to prom —we still do need financial support! Monetary donations help us make sure teens of all sizes and shapes can find a dress to call their own; we fill out our inventory with sizes we do not receive through our community and corporate donors.
