Genesis Weddings & Special Events
Specializing In New Beginnings
Introducing...
*With Prom Season ending in Coffee and surrounding counties, we we are proud to have helped girls become a Princess for a Day! Even though we have closed up "shop", it doesn't mean we are gone for good. We will be accepting donations throughout the year by emailing us at princessforadayproject@gmail.com or calling 615-663-2095 to arrange for us to pick-up your items. Also, if there is a young lady that needs assistance during the next year for celebrations such as Homecoming, and others, feel free to contact us!
THANK YOU SO MUCH to Mr. Rogers of Rogers & Duncan for donating the use of his building on McArthur Street for the 2009 Prom Princess For A Day Project!
Princess For A Day promotes self-confidence and individual beauty by providing free prom dress and accessories to high school girls who cannot otherwise afford them. Our effort is made possible through invaluable volunteer, donor and community support.
Beginning this year, we will seek and hope to receive beautiful new or nearly new dresses and accessories in excellent condition from individual and business donors. Several volunteers will accept and organize these dresses and accessories to run an amazing giveaway event each April for individual high school girls.
In addition to helping high school teens attend their prom with style and confidence, Princess For A Day is driven by our core values so that we can continue to provide the most fun and memorable experience for the teens we serve, volunteers that help, and our generous donors in the coming years.
1. We celebrate bodies of all sizes and avoid using body imagery in our marketing and outreach. Body-oriented graphics and artwork – like torso silhouettes, dress outlines or generic stock prom photos – inadvertently convey an idealized body size, style and look. Instead, we use images of the girls we serve and royalty-related imagery like tiaras and crowns, we celebrate the beauty and diversity of girls everywhere, in every size.
2. We value the importance of recycling and of using the earth’s resources wisely. We seek to show our respect for this recycling process by treating each clothing and/or accessory donation as valued and important.
3. We trust that girls who are in financial need of garments and accessories will attend Princess For A Day events, and we will welcome them without question. We in turn will foster important trust of our donors, who give to Princess For A Day with the intent that girls in need will benefit.
4. We strive to offer meaningful volunteer leadership opportunities for women, and to provide a venue for volunteers to grow personally and professionally. We seek to make Princess For A Day planning process rewarding, educational and fun for our volunteers.
5. We strive to include representatives of girls that we serve in our decision-making processes.
6. We strive to create a respectful and fun atmosphere for the girls we serve at the Dress Giveaway events.
7. We strive to include the diversity of people represented in the Middle Tennessee area in our volunteer corps.
