Princess For A Day

Our 4th annual Princess For A Day event is rapidly approaching. For those of you who have not heard about this event it is a day for Oregon girls to be treated like a Princess. It is a gift to girls in foster care and a fun outing for girls part of the general community.

We partner with other community media outlets and business partners in order to raise awareness of foster children in Lane county.

It is an opportunity for girls, ages 2-18 to dress up in and take home a crown, gown and slippers. Princess also receive the "royal treatment" which means they get their hair, nails and make up done in addition to their own photo-shoot. She is then escorted to the royal tea party where the princess and her King/Queen (parent or guardian) are treated to lunch. 

Here is a look at last years event:



This is a gift for foster care children so they are able to attend for free. Those who are a part of general admission have to pay a $50 fee but it goes directly towards sponsoring a girl in foster care. 


To learn more about the event or sign up your child go to our page at:

Last year we were able to serve over 325 Princesses throught the generosity of Families all over the country. This year we hope to reach even more children so we can pamper both girls who are in foster care and those who are not.

For those of you who don't have a child to bring or are out of stat you can still become a Fairy Godparent by sponsoring a child.

Although there are a lot of dedicated people who volunteer their time and services we are always on the look out for more help. We are appreciative of any type of princess gear (clothing, shoes, accessories, make-up etc.), volunteers and donations of any amount.

We are so grateful of everyones continued support of this event and look forward to March 4th!
