Our Mission........................................................................
Princess & the Prom is a charitable organization created to provide a free prom dress to any area high school girl who might not otherwise be able to afford one. It is our goal that every girl has the opportunity to feel like a princess on the night of her prom!
Gown Giveaway Event......................................................
The 2008 Gown Giveaway event was a huge success! We had over 750 dresses and helped almost 200 girls get the dress of their dreams! Next year's 2009 Gown Giveaway Event will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn, Day Hill Road in Windsor, Ct on March 28 & 29. Mark your calendars!
Princess for a Day: Our 2008 winner was Tashalyn Covington of Weaver HS. She received a package that included 2 tickets to the prom, $50 Macy's gift certificate, gift certificates to Victoria's Secret, flowers, hair, makeup, and much more!
