Tea by the Sea

St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating and empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to realize their full potential, will host its annual Tea by the Sea to benefit the Sophie’s Gallery art program that is currently offered to over 400 students at SMSC.

This year’s Tea by the Sea honorary chairs are Maureen King, Barbara Menard, and Angel Kleinbub. Guests are encouraged to dress in their favorite tea-time attire for the event, and attendees will be treated to complimentary signature cocktails and hors d’oeuvres paired with beautiful oceanfront views. The event will also feature a silent auction and live music.

“We are excited to welcome guests back in-person to Tea by the Sea in 2022. Thank you to Maureen King, Barbara Menard, and Angel Kleinbub, for their support with this event,” says Debra Emerson, CEO of St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center. “Tea by the Sea continues to support the Sophie’s Gallery art program which provides a special opportunity for our students to express themselves through vibrant, original works of art.”

St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center is a nonprofit organization that serves more than 400 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through nationally recognized, innovative programs. Its mission is to educate and empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to realize their full potential. Developmental disabilities include autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and other cognitive disorders for which there are no cures.
