As the Tennessee-Florida rivalry heats up, one organization is hating on the Gators to help raise money for charity.

Wednesday, many East Tennesseans hit the runway as part of the Scarecrow Foundation's "Gator Hator Week," and you'll recognize two of the models, our own Beth Haynes and Kris Budden.

Organizers say the Florida bashing event not only gets Vols fans pumped up, but helps feed the hungry too.

"We obviously people don't like the Gators, so this is all part of the Gator Hator Week, and with the Scarecrow Foundation, we support existing hunger organizations, and this week all the proceeds and all the awareness is helping the Love Kitchen," said Jimmy Buckner, executive director of the Scarecrow Foundation.

This is the foundation's 8th annual Gator Hator Week.

In addition to the fashion show, the organization hosted a golf tournament and several events on campus.
