What is Give-a-Gown Foundation?
MISSION:
The Give-a-Gown Foundation mission is in line with the efforts of the California based charity, The Princess Project, www.princessproject.org/princess. The confidence and renewed sense of self that comes from feeling beautiful in a dress provides the kind of hope to build these girls into self sufficient young women. 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.

As you clean out your closets, think of Give-a-Gown Foundation and the new life and memories waiting to be breathed into your dresses and accessories. We are grateful to all of our donors! We particularly are in need of fancy jewelry, purses, wraps, and new or nearly new gowns in EXCELLENT condition in all fabrics, sizes, and colors.
