History of the Annual Benefit Fashion Show

Dr. Frankie Martin founded the Annual Benefit Fashion Show, in partnership with the BSU to raise funds for student scholarships. Since then, she has retired from the college and received MICA’s highest honor, the Medal of Honor.

ABFS raises funds for the Dr. Frankie Martin Grant, which goes towards students in need of financial support. This grant has a marked effect on the students who receive it: alleviating financial stress, helping them complete creative projects, and building their futurity as professional artists.
