Fun-Set Social and Charity Club

We host the annual "Beautillion Ball" which honors and presents young African-American males that are juniors or seniors in High School. The Fun-Set Social and Charity Club was founded and organized in 1966 by the late Dorothy Bowens-Ammons. She came to Huntsville, Alabama to work at Redstone Arsenal. After some research, she saw the need for additional social activity in the city. She organized t

he club consisting of African American Women. They named the club the fun-Set Social Club. After a few years, the organization saw the need for community service and the development of programs focusing on education, health and wellness and community outreach. The organization changed the name to the Fun-Set social and Charity club. The Fun-Set Social and Charity club is a 501 (c)(3) organization composed of Christian women dedicated to community service. We host the annual Beautillion Ball at the Von Braun Center. The Beautillion Ball serves to present and honor young African-American males that are juniors or seniors in High School. Our first “Beautillion Ball” was in 1979 at the Carriage Inn Hotel, where thirty young men were presented. To date we have presented more than 1,000 young men to society. They have established a brotherhood that will serve as a support system for them for many years to come. Our mission continues to focus on supporting young African American males through community service and to continue to empower them to become contributing members of society.
