She’s a fab chick who’s always doing big things for a cause. After stumping around Georgia and other states for President Obama , actress Keshia Knight Pulliam hosted a big fundraiser at SAKS in Atlanta for a certain HBCU…and it raised over $1 million. Deets inside… The fab chick was all about raising money for her alma mater Spelman College recently. Keshia, graduated with a B.A. in Sociology and a concentration in film back in ’01, joined forces with Spelman College Board Members to host a Fall Fashion Presentation and fundraiser at SAKS in Atlanta, GA. And she helped usher in a whopping million dollars for the all-women’s college. Nice! Ne-Yo’s fiancee Monyetta Shaw was on hand to support the cause, as was Spelman College President, Dr. Beverly Tatum , 20 year board member Vicki Palmer, LaTanya Richardson (wife of Samuel L. Jackson ), and Mrs. Carolyn Young (wife of Andrew Young ): As Keshia posed it up with the Spelman Glee Club who performed, the fundraiser attendees had a fabulous luncheon complete with a champagne toast, and live auction. And it was all to raise $1 million in scholarship funds to benefit Spelman students who aren’t able to graduate due to financial hardship. Fab cause! Photo Credit: Donna Permell, Prime Phocus
