About the Fairy Godmother Project of Houston
|
The Fairy Godmother Project of Houston was started in 2000 as a grass roots
organization to help out students in the Houston area
who cannot afford to purchase a prom dress or prom
attire. Each year we provide hundreds of students in the
Houston area with free prom dresses and tuxes.
Prom is an important event in the lives of American
high school students, and we believe that every student
should have the opportunity to enjoy prom regardless of
their personal or financial background.
The organization has grown with the support of
community members who have cleaned out their closets,
collected dresses and mentored the students at the
annual shopping day. We are an all-volunteer organization
and we appreciate the hundreds of businesses,
community leaders, and donors all over the country who
have helped us make prom dreams come true!
