“Prom is one of the most important events for a high school student, but some disadvantaged teems will miss their prom because they can’t afford to buy a dress,” said Quinn Donnelly, president of The Princess Project board of directors. “Girls spend an average of $750 on prom, with a formal dress alone easily costing $200. We’re asking women throughout the Bay Area to clean out their closets and help us make a young girl’s dreams come true.” 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 Oakland, San Francisco and Silicon Valley with the support of 350 volunteers.
