In 1954, the conception and vision of a special cultural event involving outstanding young women led to the birth of the first Debutante Cotillion, which was held at Dillard High School Cafeteria. It was the first of its kind in Broward County. Our focus on youth and their total development was always essential to the success of our outreach programs. In the year 2000, the Debutante Cotillion emerged as an Evening of Royal Elegance and has evolved into the most phenomenal cultural event of the year in Broward County. In 2002, the first Masters’ Ball was incorporated with the Debutante Cotillion, spotlighting the accomplishments of African-American young men.
