2023 Cotillion & Debutante Ball

The Southern Crescent Pearls Foundation, Inc. is excited to announce our 2023 Revealing the Excellence Within Cotillion and Debutante Ball. Historically, a debutante was a young lady that had reached the age of maturity and was ready to make a “debut” to society. We have embraced this concept as an opportunity to mentor young ladies attending high school and preparing for post-secondary education. Our Debutante Program is designed to broaden perspectives educationally, socially and culturally through a series of program activities that include personal development and college preparatory workshops, community service projects/opportunities, etiquette training and more! The season culminates in the formal presentation of the debutantes during the much-anticipated debutante ball.

In addition to the activities and the formal ball, our program also provides the opportunity for each debutante to earn scholarships for use in their post-secondary educational endeavors. Prospective debutantes are rising juniors and seniors. Demi-debutantes are rising freshmen and sophomores. Our 2023 season officially begins in July 2023 and ends November 2023.
