The Cinderella Ball is a black-tie optional fundraising dinner and auction for the Foundation and was held Saturday at Heritage Springs Golf & Country Club. Proceeds from this event benefit the many programs of the Pasco Education Foundation such as scholarships, creative teaching grants and recognition events for students and district employees. The event also promotes the Cinderella Project and Prince Charming Project, supporting students who may not otherwise be able to afford attire for their senior prom.

This annual black tie gala supports the programs of the Pasco Education Foundation Inc., whose mission is to advance student achievement and invest community resources to enrich educational opportunities for students and educators.

The foundation has again partnered with the popular Cinderella Project and will be accepting gently used prom dresses and formal accessories at the ball. The Cinderella Project provides gowns at no cost to Pasco County high school girls who otherwise would have financial difficulty attending the prom. All proceeds from the event will support the programs of the Pasco Education Foundation.
