BILLINGS - A fashion show for a special cause attracted dozens Saturday night. Bones Brewery hosted a fashion show fundraiser benefiting Chiari People of Montana. Nearly twenty organizations donated items for a silent auction and "A Head Of Our Time Salon" coordinated the event. The show featured fashion and dance segments from different decades since the 1920s. Organizers say the fun event provides a good way to spread awareness about the condition.

"Just the clarity of what that is and how many people are affected. There are a cascade of conditions that are associated with Chiari, and yes, it's a very worthy cause," says Carina Camamile.

Organizers say they're happy with all the support from the community for the fundraiser. To date, they estimate more than 120 cases of Chiari Malformation in Montana.
