Newport Beach-based OC Women2Women is ready to show the love at its annual Sweetheart Luncheon & Fashion Show, taking place Wednesday, Feb. 11, at the Promenade & Gardens by Turnip Rose in Costa Mesa.
This uplifting event invites guests to bring a sweetheart or good friend and gather for an afternoon filled with connection, inspiration, and purpose. The luncheon blends a curated fashion show with meaningful philanthropy supporting Mary’s Path, a Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) dedicated to serving parenting foster youth.
Mary’s Path empowers young mothers and their babies by providing housing, therapy, education, and life-skills support that help them build lives rooted in dignity, hope, and self-sufficiency.
“Events like the Sweetheart Luncheon remind us that when women come together with intention, real change happens,” said OC Women2Women Board member, Community Leader and Event Sponsor, Geraldine Schlutz. “This is fashion with heart—and community with impact.”
Proceeds from the event directly benefit Mary’s Path and its mission to uplift vulnerable young families across Orange County.
