The First Year






We have finished out our first year and it has been a great success! Since August, we have launched this website, built a Board of Directors, and gained members for the Advisory Board and volunteer list. The foundation supplied dress up clothes to seven families with children on hospice care as well as four other children battling cancer.


In April of 2009, we will be opening two dress up closets for the new wing of Children’s Medical Center of Dallas honoring the memory of Alexa Aigner and Blake Townsend (pictured). So far we have collected over 900 costumes! We are only 100 away from the halfway mark toward our goal of 2,000. Thank you to all who have helped to spread the word about this incredible opportunity to help seriously ill children escape from the medical world through imaginative play.


We also continue to raise funds for Friendship Park- the pink park Alexa dreamed of. It will be a place where sick and disabled children can comfortably and safely play with their siblings and friends.


2009 holds limitless opportunities for The Princess Alexa Foundation. We hope to be able to touch hundreds of lives. Thank you for your support in realizing our vision- that all seriously ill children will be able to celebrate their childhood spirit through dress up and play.
