A copious Halloween candy selection? Check. A highly-detailed carved pumpkin? Check. Costume? Hmmm. Grab that old prom dress in your closet and a tiara and this year’s Princess Costume is set! Halloween is right around the corner and so is The Princess Project! Keep the treats around a bit longer this year and help send high school girls to prom.

We’re gearing up for the 2008 Dress Giveaways and starting to gather fairy dust, polish off those tiaras, and organize fabulous and fun events to give away prom dresses and accessories to high school girls throughout the Bay Area at three exciting locations: San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and the East Bay!.

In its seventh year, The Princess Project promotes self-confidence and individual beauty by providing free prom dresses and accessories to high school girls who cannot otherwise afford them.
