Our Cotillion
The Twenty Pearls Foundation (TPF) Cotillion, known as Miss Prominent Pearl, is a formal ball where Debutantes are formally introduced to society.
Miss Prominent Pearl is a highly-attended and well-respected cotillion across the Chicagoland area. For more than a decade, Twenty Pearls Foundation (TPF) has been acknowledged for curating an impactful and upscale program for Debutantes to build their self-efficacy, increase social etiquette, establish professional relationships, and build lifelong relationships.
The rich diversity of our nine-month Cotillion program accords the family and friends of Debutantes to experience and witness the discipline and positive evolution of the Debutante. Our Debutantes are poised, sophisticated, well-educated young women with high morals and ethics. TPF Debutantes have high academic achievement and ambitious goals for their future.
