About the Foundation

Humanitarian work has always been at the center of The National Debutante Cotillion tradition. The National Debutante Cotillion Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and all-volunteer public charity, which supports humanitarian works and organizations, including The Children’s National Medical Center of Washington, DC. The multi-day celebration of the National Debutante Cotillion and Thanksgiving Ball is the primary annual fundraiser for the Foundation. Following Studie’s vision, other events bring the “Cotillion Family” together throughout the year.

The National Debutante Cotillion Foundation is honored to be part of The Trust at Children’s National. The Trust is a prestigious donor community made up of individuals and groups who have made lifetime philanthropic contributions of one million or more to the hospital.
