Second Anniversary
This Saturday, November 21 marked the two-year anniversary of the inception of The Princess Shop. To commemorate its second anniversary, The Princess Shop would like to extend gratitude to our Saskatchewan community for the continued support that the organization receives.
During The Princess Shop’s second high school graduation season in June 2009, the program had created an exciting, affirming day for 55 Princesses – an increase of 41 percent from last year, bringing the organization’s total impact to 94 female youth. The organization’s second year in operation also marked the announcement of The Princess Shop’s scholarship program, with the donation of a full esthetician program scholarship (valued at $10,000) by Spa Academy. The Princess Shop also holds an annual benefit to raise funds for operations, and a year-end appreciation barbeque with members from the business community and several recently graduated Princesses and their families at the Forestry Farm. The Princess Shop now has over 700 grad dresses in inventory and 2100 members in its Facebook group.
Special Dress Donations!
Thanks to the continued support and donations from members of our community, as well as some very special donations, The Princess Shop continues to build a varied inventory of dresses that is sure to meet the needs of almost any graduate.
