Prince Charming And Cinderella Project 
bringing high school prom dreams to reality

The Manatee Education Foundation is kicking off a new project this year in conjunction 
with the Suncoast for Kids Foundation and several other local businesses.  We have 
created the Prince Charming & Cinderella Project to help underprivileged students 
to attend prom.  We realize that a lot of students do not even consider prom due 
to the expenses associated with the event.  We will offer tuxedo rentals for 
boys and dresses, shoes, accessories and even free beauty services 
(hair, make-up, nails) for the girls. Click here for the application form.

and assisting in obtaining eye exams and prescription eyeglasses. Prevent Blindness is 
having a local fundraiser "Light the Night for Sight" a walk and festival on Saturday,

loss with a few "vision loss" simulation activities. Having two high school students 
myself, I know importance of volunteer hours. I would like to open this up for any 
high school seniors or juniors as a volunteer opportunity. If you need any 
additional information, please let me know.  I am here at school until 3:30.
