The Bayview MLK Center was the place. April 27th was the date. A classic men’s fashion review was the experience, and scholarships was the reason.

A host of sharply dressed men were strutting their swag on the catwalk in front of an audience of enthusiastic and curious lookie-loos.

The attendees were able to fine dine on some Felix’s “BBQ with soul” cuisine.They were also treated to a martial arts demonstration by instructor Master Ray Leal and Master Dennis Newsom, and his class of Afro-Brazilian Capoeira students. 

The students were able to excite the crowd with their martial arts acrobatics and choreography. 

Tracksuits to flashy tailor made suits, custom made brims, and Stacy Adams’ shoes were all on display in a wide variation of colors, patterns, and materials. 

The stylish hunk’s definitely did their part in helping to raise some much needed scholarship income for community high school seniors in need of a financial pick me up.
