What's New?



Welcome to our new and improved website, complete with our official logo! Yes, that is Alexa's handwriting. A huge thank you to Derek Kelly for the website changes and to Patrick Ball for our logo design.

Along with our new and improved look, we'd like to introduce a new program: Dress Up Deliveries.

There are countless numbers of children in hospitals across the country undergoing treatment. Until we can put dress up closets in every Children's hospital, this is a way we can reach them. Requests can be made by filling out the form on the Dress Up Deliveries tab and emailing it back to us. Within 2 weeks, the child will receive a delivery to their house- a box full of fun dress up items to play with. If you know of a child who could benefit from this new program, please tell them about us. We'd love to help!

Dress Up Success!


In Alexa's words, "Oh my dosh! Oh my dosh!"

A HUGE thank you to everyone who worked hard to make the Dress Up Drive a success. Our goal was to collect 2,000 costumes before the opening of the closets and with your help, we made it! We beat our goal!

But the fun doesn't stop here. Merryhill Schools are extending their invitation to be a drop off site for everyone in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Also- we will gladly accept donations year round for these children to make sure the happiness keeps getting spread those who need it most.

Keep On Dressin' On!

Our Dress Up Drive ends this weekend and so far it has been an enormous success! Groups all over the country have heard about our mission and are joining us in our efforts to collect 2,000 new costumes by the end of April when the two closets will officially open at Children's Medical Center of Dallas.

If you would still like to participate on your own or as a small group, the Merryhill Schools in the Dallas/Fort Worth area have graciously opened their doors as a drop off site for our drive. You can take your NEW costumes, accessories or monetary donations to any of the six area schools. Tell them it is for The Princess Alexa Foundation Dress Up Drive. Thank you Merryhill Schools for your participation in supporting our cause!

The Princess Alexa Foundation believes happiness is healing. Thank you to all who are helping to bring happiness to those children who need it most.
