The Bridgefield Civic League<\/a> recently celebrated its Debutante Cotillion for the first time in 20 years.\n<\/p>\n

This historic tradition, which began in the 1960s, is rooted in elegance, discipline and community pride. The Debutante Cotillion is a rite of passage for young women in the Bronx community, preparing them to step into society with confidence, integrity and purpose.<\/p>\n

Service, commitment, teamwork and the social graces often neglected nowadays are among the main teachings of this program.<\/p>\n

In addition to being a celebration, this was also a scholarship event, a developmental experience and a powerful reminder that the youth present a bright future.\n<\/p>\n

The Bridgefield Debutante Cotillion is a testament to the next generation\u2019s resilience, beauty and promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bridgefield Civic League celebrated the return of their Debutante Cotillion, which was held for the first time…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50680,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[28321,128,28322,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-50679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bridgefield-civic-league","tag-bronx","tag-debutante-cotillion","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50679\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
