On Sunday, the Beta Pi Omega chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, along with the Ivy Foundation of Little Rock, hosted the Fashionetta Fashion Show.

Many young girls joined the mothers and wives of current and former NBA players on the stage, raising money for a scholarship fund for young black women to go to college.

"Over the course of years since 1948 we've been able to give $200,000 to deserving high school students who have attended college all over the United States." said Kanetra Fitzpatrick, chairperson for the project.

Some of the names you might recognize strutting their stuff on the catwalk today---Michelle and Bettye Williamson, the wife and mother of former Razorback Corliss Williamson.
