Princess for a Day!

The Foundation received this announcement from our Iota Beta chapter at Quincy University this week. Last year, the chapter raised thousands of dollars and touched the lives of many, many kids from their area. This is a wonderful event and a terrific way to celebrate Make A Difference Day.

Is your chapter planning an event for Make A Difference Day? If so, leave a comment or email us about it. We'd love to feature the great work your chapter is doing!

Quincy University’s sorority Phi Sigma Sigma is hosting their annual charity event, Princess for a Day on October 27, 2007; in the Quincy University Student Center from 9:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Princess for a Day is open to girls ages 4-10 years old. The cost of the event is $25.00 for the first child in the family and $20.00 for each child after that. Girls who are on the free and reduced lunch plan at school will receive a reduction in price.

Princess for a Day will consist of lessons in manners, etiquette, and how to properly set a dinner table. When the girls arrive they will have their picture taken and later in the day they will make frames to put the pictures in. Girls are encouraged to dress up in princess costumes and dresses. The girls will also participate in dressing up the members of Phi Sigma Sigma as princesses. An etiquette luncheon is then served this is where the girls are able to practice all of the manners they have learned.

At the end of the day there is a graduation ceremony that parents are encouraged to attend. Each girl will be crowned a Princess, receive a certificate of completion, a tiara, and memories for a lifetime. Our chapter of Phi Sigma Sigma wants to make a difference in the lives of young women. We know that it can be tough growing up and we want to help make it a little easier. That is why we have devoted a day of fun and learning to the young girls in the community.

Phi Sigma Sigma hosts Princess for a Day as a part of Make a Difference Day, which is a “National Day of Doing Good”. The proceeds from Princess for a Day will be donated to the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation. Our foundation will then send it to our national philanthropy, The National Kidney Foundation. Phi Sigma Sigma wants to give all little girls a chance to be a “Princess for a Day”!
