Dear Friends:

Event Description: Co‐hosted by The Heart of America Foundation and Albert Uster Imports, a Swiss fine gourmet food company, Sweet Charity is a fun and unique annual event in Washington, DC.

The event’s infamous Des Alpes Chocolate Fashion Show, where award‐winning chefs demonstrate their mastery of cocoa and couture, is a spectacular highlight of the event.
