The Princess Project appreciates Christina Baker
for having two parties while part of the American
Rose family.
|
"The gift of giving happiness to another person" is the
valuable lesson Alyssa took away from giving a Princess
Project party. She says the best award she ever received
was "seeing someone with daily struggles and pain,
forget their troubles and smile and have fun for a day."
Alyssa would like everyone to take part in their community
and has done so herself through 6 years of volunteering
with Girl Scouts. She has won the President's Student Service
Award, Sports Award, and Active Lifestyle Award, as well
as numerous other awards and pageant titles,
both national and international. |

Karley
returned to the hospital where she has
been a patient, to be a lovely hostess for two
other little girls facing treatments. Karley
herself is a brave and empathetic little girl who
knows just how to bring a smile to someone's face.
Her parties included beautifully decorated cakes,
princess themed toys and pop-up books, and a
handmade door-hanger that says "Princess."
Karley LOVED giving someone a crown and sash.
She was happy that she made the little girl look like
a Princess and feel better." Karleyloves the idea of
being a Princess and we at The Princess Project think
"she must surely be a real one herself !!! |

Stephanie is a busy college freshman
who still finds time for plenty of
volunteer work. Her Princess Project
Party was a huge success. She raised
the funds to treat a Princess and two
of her friends to a tea party at a
fabulous tea room in a mansion the
Princess had always wanted to visit.
The tea party was followed by
horseback riding, another wish
of the honored Princess. |

The Princess Project gives girls facing
life's challenges, a little of the magic,
the sparkle, the hope and self-confidence
we feel when we put on a tiara. Our dream
is
for many young girls to feel like Princesses,
no matter what the challenges of their lives
might
bring . |
Emalee is 2007 Miss American Rose National
Duchess and National Ambassador
Princess
She had a very fun party for a little friend who
was in the
hospital.
