Description
The Princess Shop's 13th Annual Glass Slipper Benefit for Princesses is an opportunity for our community to experience first-hand the success of the organization and celebrate the 2020 Princess Graduates. As The Princess Shop's major fundraiser, this event is very important for the ongoing success of the Dress Program, Fairy Godmother Program, and Next Chapter Program.
This inspirational evening features two keynote presentations from Princess Graduates. We will hear from a past graduate how The Princess Shop impacted her life on graduation day and onward, and we will hear from an upcoming 2020 Princess Graduate who will share her experience about what this support means in this very moment and as she anticipates her graduation day.
The event also includes a two course dinner served to your table and dessert sponsored by PickNic's Catering, live and silent auctions, a raffle, and a musical performance by Lisa Moen.
Thank you to our Supporting Sponsors: MNP, Strata Development, SaskTel, SGI, and MLT Aikins!

Organized by
The Princess Shop Mentorship and Female Youth Development Inc. is a nonprofit organization established in 2007 and based in Saskatoon, serving the province of Saskatchewan. Female-identified students graduating from high school (Princess Graduates) who are at a financial and/or social disadvantage, are provided with a graduation dress, accessories, and services donated by our community. The Princess Shop has expanded to also include a mentorship program and scholarship and work placement program.
The Dress Program sponsored by Wright Construction and Federated Cooperatives LTD.
The Princess Shop and the Dress Program are built upon the belief that there is a strong connection between feelings of positive self-image, pride, confidence, accomplishment, and equivalence to her peers, and a graduate’s future pursuit of success. Many of the young women The Princess Shop has worked with in the past have indicated that they would not have attended their own graduation if they had not had access to our services. When a young woman attends her graduation and feels proud and excited to begin the next stage of her life, this has a tremendous positive impact on her future pursuits of success. This supports her in beginning to think about what comes next in her life, and with access to support from The Princess Shop’s additional programs, she can continue to pursue her dreams and continue celebrating her accomplishments. To date, over 1200 women have been supported through the Dress Program!
The Next Chapter Program
The Next Chapter Program provides opportunities for success through education. Scholarships, bursaries, skill development workshops, and housing are offered to Princess Graduates through partnerships with local businesses and organizations.
The Fairy Godmother Program
The Fairy Godmother Program recognizes the importance of role models and mentorship in the development of self-confident and independent young women. These role models, known as Fairy Godmothers, are volunteers from the community who are established in their own lives and careers, and wish to make a difference in the lives of young women. The Fairy Godmother Program’s mission is to nurture in Princess Graduates the self-awareness, self-confidence, motivation, and life skills needed to accomplish their goals, and the Fairy Godmother provides encouragement and support in bringing these ambitions to reality.
