The Princess and the Frog


On December 12th, we celebrated the newest Disney princess by holding an exclusive event for our board members, some friends and several local families with children battling illness. We all gathered at Studio Movie Grill in Lewisville for a grand Princess and the Frog experience, complete with a red carpet walkway, gift bags, our own marquis and a special visit by Princess Tiana herself! Thank you to all who helped us create a memorable experience for so many special children.

And The Results Are In!




















Thank you to everyone who helped to make this year's Dress Up Drive a HUGE success! We collected over 1450 costumes and almost 900 accessories! Simply amazing.

Speaking of amazing. . . Special thanks to Sabre, Inc. whose employees held a charity day and gave the proceeds to us. Their financial team put together their own "Amazing Race" event and invited employees to compete in order to raise monetary donations for our foundation. Between the generosity of the employees and the Sabre matching program, the grand total exceeds $8,000 - a very significant contribution to our young organization. This will go a long way in helping us continue to serve these special children whose lives are enhanced through the joy of dress up.

A Busy Day
Saturday, November 21st was a big day for The Princess Alexa Foundation! In the morning, we were the beneficiary of the first annual Turkey Trot/Fun Run for our neighborhood in Keller! The event attracted more runners than the original goal making it a huge success. Thank you to all who were involved in making this happen. It was a lot of fun!



In the evening the Haltom Middle School theater group performed Alladin, Jr. with proceeds to benefit our foundation.


This group of kids have been working hard all semester long for us. Not only have they offered themselves for volunteering hours, but they cheered up the patients at Our Children's House Baylor with their talent and generosity. The gift of song and dance accompanied with a new costume to enjoy was the perfect medicine for so many recovering from illness. Thank you, guys. We are so glad your show was a big success!

Thank you also to the Hulen Disney Store for the dessert bar available throughout the evening. We loved seeing the smiles on all the children's faces as they carried away a plate full of goodies!
