Here at The Princess Shop, we are making our way through our 9th graduation season with 130+ Princess Graduates in our Dress Program! We have seen amazing growth in numbers of women accessing the Dress Program, which lends out the dress and accessories to graduating women in financial and/or social need. Furthering that, for Saskatoon Graduates we can set them up with hair, makeup, photos, limo and corsage (Thanks to these amazing sponsors) to provide the enhanced graduation experience to mark the accomplishment.

Over the past 8 years (this year not included) we have supported 628 women for their graduation day. That means 628 women have attended their graduation feeling proud of their accomplishments, and equivalent to their peers. 628 women who might not have attended their graduation celebration at all, if not provided the opportunity to be a part of The Princess Shop's Dress Program.

That being said, we know a thing or two about graduation days: the good, the bad, and the ugly. 

Whether you're reading this and you're a graduate, an escort, a parent, friend or a family member of a graduate, this is for YOU! We all want the big day to go smoothly, but we know anything can go wrong. It is our goal for our Princess Graduates to have a stress-free graduation day! Having been a part of so many graduates' big day, and accompanying them to hair, makeup and photography appointments, we have learned a lot about quick fixes, and how to be prepared in case of anything - and we would love to share this with you! 

Here is The Princess Shop's Graduation Emergency Essentials Kit:

The Princess Shop is a non-profit located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, providing an enhanced graduation experience to young women all over the province of Saskatchewan!

The Princess Shop is a Saskatoon non-profit that has an outstanding impact on the community. Now in the 9th year of hosting the Glass Slipper Benefit, The Princess Shop has reached 628 graduates across the province (and counting)! The Glass Slipper Benefit is our biggest fundraiser, and one of the most important nights of the year for our program. This is just one of the reasons why we have such gratitude for our amazing list of sponsors. Without the help of these sponsors, this evening wouldn't be possible. Without further ado, we'd like to take a minute to thank the following: 

To our title sponsor, K + S Potash Canada, to our dinner sponsor KPMG, to our supporting sponsors, McFaull Consulting, Strata Development Corporation, Exquisite Fashions and Bridal, and our Spiritwood Sponsors (Papa Rene's Pizzeria, Spiritwood High School, Northern Lakes Economic Development Corp.)

Our event wouldn't have the same impact without the generous donations from organizations like this in our community. We are proud to be located in Saskatoon where the people are as kind as they are generous. Thank you to these sponsors for making a difference to The Princess Shop, and to so many young women in Saskatchewan who are able to participate in graduation because of it.

Special thanks to Kevin Stanfield of Global Saskatoon for emceeing the evening and bringing his witty charm! Mo' Love put on a lively performance at the end of the evening, and our Keynote speaker, Kara, spoke beautifully about her experiences and challenges finishing high school through anxiety and depression. Kara's message spoke to everyone, and stated that it should not matter what your path is, or how long it takes, that in the end, your accomplishments are your own and it is important to recognize that. In addition, your path makes you stronger and more resilient to go after your next dream!
