From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Debutante Cotillion and Thanksgiving Ball of Washington, D.C. is an annual dance and formal debutante presentation of young ladies held in the Nation's capital.

The Cotillion was founded in 1949 by Miss Mary-Stuart Montague Price, daughter of Captain Allen Ingram Price, U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1917. Miss Price and her niece, Mrs. Anthony David Madera, are co-chairmen of the event, which benefits the Children's National Medical Center.

Regional Chairmen from many states like, California, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas, recommend young ladies and their families for participation.

The 59th National Debutante Cotillion will be held during Thanksgiving week of 2008.
