Bridgefield Civic League nonprofit, founded in 1968 and based in the Williamsbridge section of The Bronx, celebrated the return of its historic Debutante Cotillion after a 20-year pause at Eastwood Manor Catering Hall, also in Williamsbridge, on Nov. 7.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Debra G Tirado, president of Bridgefield Civic League<\/a>, located at 3551 Laconia Avenue, the Debutante Cotillion tradition is rooted in elegance, discipline, and community pride.<\/p>\n

Tirado said that since the 1960s, the event has served as a rite of passage for young ladies in the local Williamsbridge community, preparing them to step into society with confidence, integrity, and purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s Cotillion continues that legacy,\u201d said Tirado.\u00a0\u201cOur young ladies were introduced to society with grace and poise, supported by an exceptional group of young men who served as escorts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tirado said that beyond the evening\u2019s elegance, the program teaches far more: including service, commitment, teamwork, and the social graces that she said today\u2019s world often neglects. \u201cThis is not just a celebration, it is a scholarship event, a developmental experience, and a powerful reminder that our youth are the future, and their future is bright,\u201d Tirado said.<\/p>\n
