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. This effort is made possible through invaluable volunteer, donor and community support. With the help of over 300 volunteers, they help over 1,500 local teenagers make their prom dreams come true each year. Since 2007, they have given away over 6,000 donated dresses!
Coles has been a proud supporter of the Princess Project for several years, and we are looking forward to another successful dress drive this year! By bringing your donations of formal dresses and accessories to our San Diego Coles Fine Flooring location (or any other local drop off location), you can help send a deserving teen to Prom.
