This year, innovative online retailer ModCloth is helping to make prom extra special for Bay Area high school students, by pledging to donate up to 500 dresses to The Princess Project. The Princess Project is a non-profit promoting self-confidence and individual beauty by providing free prom dresses and accessories to high school girls who cannot otherwise afford them. On March 5, 2012, ModCloth will donate one dress to The Princess Project for every dress purchased from ModCloth's "Fancy Frocks" category, with the goal of donating 500 dresses.
"With ModCloth's vast selection of vintage-inspired dresses, we're in a perfect position to partner with this great organization and help make some prom wishes come true," says VP of Marketing, Katie Garlinghouse. "Beyond directly helping some high school students feel extra special at their proms, we are excited to involve our community in a campaign that makes self-expression through personal style accessible to all women."
Since The Princess Project began in 2002, the organization has provided over 18,000 girls with free dresses and accessories. This year, they hope to serve over 4,000 California girls through dress giveaway events in the San Francisco area. The giveaways in San Francisco will be held March 17th-25th.
