Our Debutante Cotillion is Launching in Chicago!
What began 16 years ago in Indianapolis and expanded through our Charlotte Debutante Cotillion is growing once again — this time in the city that raised and inspired our founder, Ericka Gibson.
This moment marks a powerful milestone for our organization. After years of serving and empowering young women in communities across the country, A Girl’s Gift is proud to bring its signature leadership, confidence, and scholarship programming home to the greater Chicagoland area.
Our Chicago Debutante Cotillion begins January 19, 2026, and we’re assembling a class of 15 extraordinary high school juniors and seniors who are ready to grow, lead, and shine. Applications are open now and accepted on a rolling basis through December 11, 2025. Don’t wait — spots fill fast!
Programming will take place in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, and we welcome applications from students across the entire Chicagoland region.
At A Girl’s Gift, we believe transformation happens when confidence meets opportunity. The 15 young women selected will embark on a journey of elegance, sisterhood, and purpose — raising scholarship funds for college and preparing to lead in every space they enter.
We can’t wait to make magic happen right here in Chicago.
If you know a high school junior or senior who should be part of this life-changing experience, tag her below or share this post with her family.
