On Friday, April 5, LA Galaxy assisted with A Place Called Home’s annual Cinderella and Prince Charming Project. A Place Called Home is a non-profit organization that provides youth in Los Angeles with a safe place to develop healthy, fulfilling and purposeful lives.
Every spring, the Cinderella and Prince Charming Project provides 1,200 Los Angeles teenagers the opportunity to receive formal-attire for homecoming, prom, and graduation. This year, LA Galaxy, AEG and Herbalife Nutrition employees helped teens shop for formal-wear to make them look and feel their best for these special occasions. In addition, attendees participated in an informative financial, fashion and self-esteem workshop. Every teenager in attendance was treated like royalty throughout the day and left ready to enjoy their special events.
Leading up to the event, LA Galaxy front office staff participated in a month-long donation drive for A Place Called Home to collect gowns, suits, dresses, ties, belts, shoes, purses, jewelry and cosmetics.
Over the past 25 years, A Place Called Home’s youth and community center has provided a place where youth can be empowered, develop their gifts, and strengthen their goals in their neighboring community.
