This year was a major success in our Princess for a Day history books! We had nearly 350 Princesses across the land gallivant throughout the royal castle, going room to room to complete their Princess transformation. The energy was high, the smiles were wide, and EVERYONE played a major part in this event.
We want to give an extra big thanks to all of our Room Leads:
Thank you so much to all of the amazing people from the University of Oregon ROTC! We appreciate that you come through for us every year!
*Each princess chaperone is required to stay with their child(ren) the entire event. Children may never be left unattended.
Foster children are granted free admission. General admission for non-foster princesses is $50.00 per child.
ALL children are welcome! Advanced registration is required for all children. Each registered child must be chaperoned by their King or Queen (parent/adult representative). Due to limited space, we can only accommodate one King or Queen per registered princess, so please leave all wicked step-sisters and forest creatures at home.
What an amazing day it was! It was our best year yet. 370 princesses walked down thered carpet this year, and spent the day dancing to their favorite Disney songs with their favorite Disney princesses.
We could not have done it without our amazing donors, volunteers, and princess. This event is only possible because of the amazing community we live in. We asked and YOU delivered! We had over 1200 dresses, 650 tiaras, 550 pairs of shoes, all of it donated by YOU! Local businesses donated all of the food provided at the event. We had 110+ volunteers who came out to make this day possible. Every year we are blessed by the amazing people that work to transform our children into princesses!
