Crowns, Capes & Courage: Every Girl Has a Hero WithinDear Community Partner,Every hero has an origin story.For many young girls, that story begins when someone believes in them, encourages them, and shows them what is possible.This year, HerShield Foundation is proud to present the 2026 Police & Princess Ball – Crowns, Capes & Courage, an unforgettable hero themed evening where girls are reminded that true courage comes from confidence, kindness, leadership, and service. Through meaningful interactions with police officers and other public safety professionals, girls will meet everyday heroes who inspire them to dream big, lead boldly, and serve their communities.The Police & Princess Ball is much more than a formal event. It is an investment in the future of young women. It creates lasting memories, builds positive relationships between youth and law enforcement, and reinforces the message that every girl has the power to become a leader in her own community.Many of the girls who attend would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience an event like this. Your sponsorship removes financial barriers, allowing them to attend free of charge and enjoy an evening filled with dinner, dancing, entertainment, mentorship, gifts, and inspiration.We invite you to partner with us in making this life-changing evening possible.
