BRIDALSALEBENEFITA2007-12-11-1197411311.jpgA sale on bridal gowns Sunday in Rochester meant so much more for a local organization that helps make prom wishes come true for area girls.

Peggy's Bridal and Tuxedo on Monroe Avenue sold a selection of their designer gowns today at half of the cost. They're donating a portion of their sales to the Fairy Godmothers of Greater Rochester--an organization that provides prom dresses to girls who can't afford them.


Today's event had was dedicated to the memory of a young lady who was recently helped by the Fairy Godmothers.


"It's in memory of Angela Ann O'Lasky, a young lady from the Greece community who we lost unfortunately this fall…but we were able to participate in creating a memory for her before her departure, we were able to dress her for her prom," says Joane Lincoln.


The Fairy Godmothers will hold their annual prom fair in March...an invitation only event.
