We recognize that many of our daughters may miss out on the opportunity to experience the joy of having a father figure in which sets the standard by a gentleman. Therefore, the Princess ball is dedicated to young ladies who may not otherwise be able to experience a wonderful evening filled with respect, happiness, gifts, and fun.

As we endeavor to ensure no daughter is left out, of one of the greatest events of their lives, some dedicated men of distinguished character and service have answered our call. The fine men of the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office, Chatham County Police Department, Savannah Police Department, Savannah Fire Department, and United States Army; have volunteered to be substitute father figures for this evening. The knight in shining armor has always been an essential part of the classic storybook fairytale, and our evening would not be complete without each of our princesses having their very own prince as a chaperone to the ball.

This event was on November 11 and the purpose was to raise money to purchase Christmas gifts for children identified by school counselors in Chatham and surrounding Cities. Each child received 2 Jeans, 2 shirts, a pair of shoes, and 2 toys of their choice. We helped 102 children in 16 different schools from Elementary to High School!

A special Thanks to Maurice Gillard, the owner of the Chocolate Martini Bar!

In July Nisha and her daughter Amelia went shopping for backpacks and all supplies required for children to be successful in school. Forty fully loaded backpacks where donated to FaithWorks, located in Brunswick, GA.

The 4th annual dress drive event was held on March 6. This was a 2-part event. Teenagers identified by the school systems as “underprivileged” were invited to the private event before it was opened to the public. These young ladies were able to enjoy an upscale boutique experience with refreshments and snacks while searching for a dress of their choice, earrings, and shoes which they received for Free. Every young lady received a gift card (provided by monetary donations) in which they could use towards accessories, hair, make-up.

After the private event, the dress drive was opened to the public where anyone could purchase a dress. (All proceeds went to Nine Line Foundation.)
