The 47th Annual Haute with Heart Fashion Show was held on Saturday at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront to raise funds to support St. Madeline Sophie’s Center in San Diego.
This year’s fashion show theme was “London Calling,” and NBC 7’s Audra Stafford was one of the event’s emcees.
Every dollar raised at the event through this year’s auction was matched up to $65,000 which the organization’s CEO Debra Emerson explained in the event’s program, is most important this year as the center has struggled with a decrease in state funds.
The fashion show is put on every year by St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center to support programs for more than 350 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
This includes programs that help with education, job training, and creative activities for people in all age groups.
