(PRWEB) June 24, 2006 -- The Society of Recovering Sorority Girls (RSG) celebrates a successful prom dress drive for the Arlington Public Schools. RSG founders Kristina “Morgan” Rose and Deandra “Brooksie” Brooks are pleased to announce the results of their third annual “Project Cinderella,” a formal dress donation drive that provides high school girls in need with a dress to wear to their school’s prom.

“This year was our most successful drive yet,” stated Morgan. “With donations nearly double that of last year, we were able to provide Formals for Five with just over 300 dresses.”

For the past three years, the Society of Recovering Sorority Girls has partnered with Arlington Public Schools in Virginia to make attending the prom more affordable. RSG spearheads the formal dress drive and donates everything collected to the school district. Potential prom-goers have the opportunity to shop through the donations at an event hosted by the school district dubbed “Formals for Five.” When a dress transforms a girl into a Cinderella, she can take it home by making a $5 donation to the In Support of Children Fund. This fund is used by Arlington Public Schools’ social workers to better prepare needy children to attend school.

“We also raised a record $650 for the In Support of Children Fund,” added Brooksie.

Memorial Baptist Church of Arlington, Virginia became a Project Cinderella partner by donating temporary dress storage space. The church also served as a donation drop-off location for local donors.

Interest in the charity was not limited to the D.C. area. RSG received donations from several other states, including three donors from California.

“We are so touched by the women who take the time to mail us their donations,” explained Morgan. “From California to Minnesota to Maryland, women share the same sentiment when it comes to seeing their special dress provide another young lady with a memorable evening.”

“We commend the philanthropic spirit of recovering sorority girls everywhere. Thank you for making Project Cinderella 2006 such a huge success. We suggest you help us celebrate by splurging on a great new dress, you know, the kind you can donate to Project Cinderella next year,” concluded Brooksie.
