Entering its ninth year, The Princess Project is a 100 percent volunteer-run effort that promotes self-confidence and individual beauty by providing free prom dresses and accessories to high school girls who could not otherwise afford them.
The Princess Project collects new and "nearly new" formal dresses and accessories from women, girls, and companies, and distributes them free of charge to teens at fun-filled events in the spring in San Francisco, East Bay, Silicon Valley and San Diego.
Since The Princess Project began in 2002, the organization has provided over 12,000 girls with free dresses and accessories. This year, The Princess Project hopes to serve over 3,500 Bay Area high school girls through dress giveaway events in San Francisco, Oakland and Silicon Valley with the support of 350 volunteers.
