Haute With Heart is Back – and This Year, it Sparkles

Some events are elegant and leave it at that. Others layer in something deeper, and that’s what makes Haute with Heart stand out.

Hosted by St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center (SMSC) at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, this year’s show marks a major milestone – SMSC’s 60th anniversary – celebrated under the theme “Hidden Diamonds,” a tribute to the brilliance found in every ability.

A Full Afternoon at the Bayfront

The afternoon opens with a chic pre-luncheon reception complete with live music, boutique shopping, a silent auction, and free-flowing champagne. From there, things move into a gourmet luncheon paired with surprise entertainment and a live auction, before the main event: the runway show.

And what a runway it is. SMSC students take center stage, modeling with confidence and individuality that gives the whole afternoon a completely different energy from your average fashion show.

Fashion With a Real Purpose

Every dollar spent here goes directly toward SMSC’s programs, which serve over 400 students – from recent high school grads to seniors in their eighties – helping them develop creative skills, independence, and self-confidence.

This year, a dollar-for-dollar matching pledge doubles every donation, so the impact of attending goes even further. The show will also honor The Society of the Sacred Heart, which helped establish SMSC in 1966.

Your Ticket, Broken Down

Standard tickets are $250; VIP is $350. Both include complimentary champagne at the reception, a full-course luncheon, and complimentary parking. VIP adds premium runway seating, preferred valet parking, and complimentary wine during the meal.
