Introducing the First Annual Spring Raffle!

Rachel G. — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:59:08 +0000

Since 2002, The Princess Project has grown from an effort to help one girl get a prom dress, to an organization that has helped more than 18,000 teens throughout California celebrate with self-confidence and style.

As we approach our 10th anniversary in Spring 2012, we’re celebrating the time, talent and taffeta that have created something special – not just for the thousands of girls that we serve, but for the thousands of volunteers and dress donors committed to promoting individual beauty and self-confidence year after year.

We’re excited to host our first annual raffle to raise funds for and awareness of The Princess Project. The raffle drawing will be held on February 25, 2012, and winners will be contacted via phone or e-mail. Ticket holders need not be present to win.

Tickets are available for $10 each at: http://princessprojectraffle.eventbrite.com/

Annual Fund

quinn — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 03:46:30 +0000

As part of our annual fund drive, we are asking you to please help join us in giving our high school participants feel confident, stylish, and inspired for prom. 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.
