Our Legacy
20th Anniversary Cotillion
The Stamford-Norwalk Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. began as a “twinkle in the eye” of a small group of devoted mothers who gathered to talk, bond, and share their visions of purposeful motherhood. Since hosting the first Cotillion, this cherished bi-annual tradition has successfully launched over 100 Debs and Beaus, equipping them with the confidence, poise, and essential life skills that serve them throughout their lifetimes.
Host Hotel: Hyatt Regency Greenwich
The Hyatt Regency Greenwich Ballroom offers an atmosphere of timeless elegance and sophistication—an ideal setting for an evening of grace, celebration, and legacy. Its refined design and polished ambiance provide the perfect backdrop for the Midnight in Paris: Parisian Chic Meets the Harlem Renaissance theme.
Preparing for the Future
In a world that’s changing faster than ever, preparing our teens for the future has never been more critical. The Cotillion experience goes beyond tradition—it builds the confidence, character, and social grace our young people need to navigate new challenges, embrace opportunity, and lead with purpose in every sphere of life.
Debs, Beaus & Honorees
The 2026 Cotillion highlights 16 outstanding Junior and Senior college-bound Debutantes and Beaus—each distinguished by academic excellence, community service, and leadership.
In a special tribute, we will honor our past, celebrating four decades of young leaders who have carried the lessons of the Cotillion into their personal, academic, and professional lives. Together, they embody the enduring spirit of achievement, grace, and service that defines the Stamford-Norwalk Chapter of Jack and Jill.
