Haute With Heart Goes Français!
St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center (SMSC), a nonprofit organization that serves individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is all set to host its 46th Annual Haute with Heart Fashion Show!

This year’s theme, “Couture,” pays homage to one of the fashion capitals of the world, Paris. Inspired by a piece from artist and SMSC student Mark Rimland, get ready to take a day trip to the City of Love!
You’ll be greeted by live Parisian-inspired music, fabulous boutique shopping, a silent auction, and free-flowing champagne.
Parisian Luncheon and Performances
Once the ballroom doors open, all messieurs and madames will enjoy a delicious Parisian-inspired luncheon, special uplifting performances by SMSC students, a live auction, and a one-of-a-kind fashion show produced by the talented Kristi Brooks, who has worked with top designers and styled celebrities around the globe.
All funds raised will benefit SMSC’s nationally recognized innovative programs, where they combine the culture of care and creativity within quality programs to provide liberal arts education, practical skills development, employment, and dignity for a lifetime.



SMSC’s Impact on Students
SMSC allows students to develop creative outlets, learn marketable skills, and gain a sense of independence and self-esteem. Over 400 students attend SMSC, ranging from recent high school graduates to seniors in their eighties.
This year’s event will honor John Seiber and have Charles and Maureen King as the Honorary Chairs. The Host Chairs are Sean and Karen Mercadante. The presenting sponsors are The Guild Hotel and The Mansour Group.
