LEAST WE FORGET
HOUSTON — Six academically-gifted young ladies will soon be honored for their dedicatory service in the classroom and community.
The Houston-based Paint The Town Purple In Honor Of Jimmie will host the 2022 Debutante Ball, a notable empowerment event designed to continue the fight against cancer, as well as bring awareness for those who have been affected.
Powered by Paint The Town Purple In Honor Of Jimmie, the Debutante Ball will take place on December 30 from 5-8 p.m. CST at the Culture Events Studio, located at 15327 Gulf Fwy Ste. E in Houston.
Tickets to the event can be purchased at https://paint-the-town-purple-in-honor-of-jimmie.ticketleap.com/paint-the-town-purple-2022-cotillion/dates/Dec-30-2022_at_0500PM.
According to Debutante spokesperson and Paint The Town Purple In Honor Of Jimmie founder Dr. Raechelle Kay, this is a debutante cotillion, during which “six amazing young ladies” ranging in ages 16 to 20 will be spotlighted for having demonstrated outstanding commitment to academic life and community service, the longtime Houston businesswoman and philanthropist told Making Headline News this week.
According to recent report by Southern Living, the word “cotillion” was first used in 18th-century France and England to describe a group dance, considered a forebearer of the square dance (à la the dancing in Pride and Prejudice). This specific dance was considered a good finale for any ball, which seems to translate well to its use today. Cotillion is typically a season of etiquette classes for middle-school-aged children that ends with a final dinner dance where they get to show off what they’ve learned.
Also, cotillion classes are understandably still prevalent in the South whereby there is an opportunity for children to learn all those manners and polite habits, which are considered highly value alongside their friends and classmates. Whether learning to give a firm handshake or dance the waltz, the skills taught in cotillion classes will come in handy throughout one’s life. Proud parents and teachers gather at the final event — often called the cotillion ball — to watch the participants demonstrate their table manners, conversation etiquette, and dance moves.

By definition, a Debutante is a young woman making her formal entrance into society.
Said Dr. Kay about the forthcoming Paint The Town Purple In Honor Of Jimmie’s 2022 Debutante Ball: “We will honor some amazing young women this year who have done some excellent community service for the community. We also continue to provide housing for low-income cancer patients while providing jobs for single parents who help us care for the residents.
