The mission of the Debutante Cotillion is to provide scholarships and promote community service and volunteerism for high school seniors. The program's culmination is the Debutante Cotillion Ball, a black-tie affair where the debutantes are presented to the Milwaukee community.

 

The Debutante Cotillion program has maintained a long-standing history of scholastic achievement. Through the years, more than 1000 young ladies have participated in the Cotillion. Former debutantes have gone on to attend colleges and universities throughout the United States. Each year one participant in the program is named "Miss Debutante." All Debutantes receive an award based on their fundraising efforts and successful completion of the program.
