Hi everyone! My name is Bonnie and I am the Fundraising Coordinator here at The Princess Shop. I am so excited to share with you what is coming up for The Princess Shop in these last few months of 2017!
To definition, a fundraiser is an event held to generate financial support for a charity or other enterprise. For The Princess Shop, fundraising means providing a way to ensure the sustainability of our three programs: The Dress Program, The Fairy Godmother Program, and The Next Chapter Program. Additionally, as volunteers, we are able to directly interact with Saskatoon’s community and many of the city’s incredible local companies through these events! To get a taste for how The Princess Shop is supported, here are some of the fundraisers we have coming up in the next couple of months:
Pay It Forward Fundraiser
The Princess Shop was lucky enough to be the chosen recipients of Pay It Forward Saskatoon’s annual fundraiser! Each year, this event is held to fundraise money for a local charity. It is an incredible event that includes many activities such as networking, entertainment, food, drink, and silent auction! As a bonus, the event will be Masquerade themed, so you are still able to have your Halloween fun!
Date: October 28, 2017
Time: 7PM-11PM
Location: Saskatoon’s Farmer’s Market
Tickets: $43.67 available through Picatic or in person from any Pay it Forward member or The Princess Shop!
