All are encouraged to come dressed in costumes to have a chance of winning prizes in the costume contest. Along with signature cocktails and spooktacular bites, the event will feature live music and entertainment, a cigar bar, and opportunity drawings. Brave attendees can stroll down the haunted trail, if they dare. This night of thrills and chills raises funds for SMSC’s nationally recognized innovative programs, such as the Activity Center, Adult Developmental Center, Behavior Modification Program, and Senior Program. The center’s “Life Program” 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 high school graduates to seniors in their eighties. The event is being put on by RunEC, a leadership project born out of the San Diego Regional East County Chamber’s Leadership Class of 2012.

Founded in 1966 by the Society of the Sacred Heart, the Center first focused on pre-school children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. When public schools began to assume that role in the early 1970s, SMSC shifted its focus to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Today, SMSC provides work training and social experiences that encourage students to become well-rounded, contributing members of the greater community. The Center also strives to educate the community about the realities of intellectual and developmental disabilities, such as Down syndrome, autism, and cerebral palsy. It employs over 120 staff members and is served by more than 150 dedicated volunteers. A fleet of some 45 paratransit vans and buses transports students between home, campus, and work sites, five days a week.
