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/

Help San Francisco Find a Site for 2012

Rachel G. — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 23:07:22 +0000

It’s almost taffeta time! The gowns and accessories are just about ready to be set up for the 2012 giveaways, but we’re missing one very important part of the equation: the site. The San Francisco team is seeking approximately 4,000+ square feet of space ideally located near public transportation options, especially BART. Any leads would be greatly appreciated, as we’re hoping to move in this month!

More information about our site needs can be found here: The Princess Project SF Site Needs 2012
