The Princess Project Silicon Valley hosts annual March giveaways.
Tais Roman, 17, a student at Menlo Atherton High School, picks out a prom dress with help from Rebecca Flores, president of Princess Project of Silicon Valley, at Windermere Real Estate in Santa Clara, Calif., on Wednesday, March 13, 2024. Roman talks about how she wants a poofy dress. Junior prom at Menlo-Atherton High School in Atherton is coming up next month, and Tais Roman wants to go big — literally.
With additional chapters in San Francisco, San Diego and Sonoma, the Princess Project accepts new and lightly-used items from community members year-round. Private and public giveaways then take place over the course of several days in March, just in time for the spring prom season. Students do not have to demonstrate financial need to participate.
The selection seems endless, but even if students aren’t able to find something they like, they can always improvise. “She was like, ‘I’m Cinderella!’ and started singing Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo,” Rose said, smiling. “She couldn’t see the dress, but she was just thrilled to get it. It was touching.” “Back then we were kind of filtering smaller groups as much as we could and trying to stay within the limits and the requirements that were in place at the time,” Flores said. “Now, we’re in full force.”
