On Wednesday night, April 9, Common Sense Media held their third annual "JSU Rocks the Runway Fashion Show" in the Leone Cole Auditorium. The show was coordinated by JSU senior Brandie Foreman and hosted by junior Fred Washington, Jr.

The night consisted of JSU students modeling spring and summer fashions donated by RUE21 in Oxford's Quintard Mall and the Purple Store in Jacksonville. Music was provided by hip-hop deejay and Anniston local, DJ Cool, with a musical performance by guest rapper L' Bronze.

Additional support came from other local businesses such as Landon Brooks Photography, located in the Quintard Mall, and Mary Kay makeup representative Tameka Smith, who provided products for the models. In attendance were people from as far away as Atlanta, Georgia and Birmingham, who said they came to support the students and help contribute to the group's fundraising efforts, which will go to a local elementary school. All the proceeds from the show this year will go to benefit Cobb Elementary students in Anniston.

According to Washington, the Common Sense Media group will donate the money in the form of "100 backpacks filled with essential school supplies."
