Female models wore Asiye's Boutique's clothes, male models wore suits from Angie Lu Tailor's. Proceeds of the ticket sales went to the benefit of students who wish to make a career in fashion and apparel or in retail.

Timothy Pamment who did the hair and make up for the models said that "it is very important to do such programs to bring the community together."

When it was time to start the program,  Kay said: "Tonight is a celebration in every sense of the word. It is a celebration of the arts-the culinary arts, the art of fashion, the art of motion pictures, and the art of dreams. I'm really very happy this turned out to be a great success and maybe we will see you next year again."
