Greetings
It is my honor to serve as the Chair of The Chicago (IL) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated’s 2024 Cotillion: “Diamonds of the Season: The Debut of Society’s Crown Jewels” In this 61st year, we look forward to another Cotillion season of excellence, elegance and social impact.
The Links remain committed to our long-standing tradition of fundraising to support the needs of the residents of our city. The Chicago Chapter Links Cotillion has contributed over $1,000,000 to local and national organizations to enrich the lives of those we serve. In particular, our focus remains on closing the mental health gap in the African-American community.
The Chicago Chapter’s Cotillion is one of the most prestigious cultural and social events in the city. We are honored to present this experience with the participation of amazing Debutantes, Escorts, and their wonderful families.
With excitement and gratitude,
Daleta Mitchell,
2024 Cotillion Chair
Last year, my daughter was presented as a debutante in The Chicago (IL) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated 60th Annual Cotillion – “Diamonds and Pearls—Celebrating 60 Years of Brilliance and Culture.” It was an absolute joy and indeed a memorable occasion. From sponsoring her to shopping for the dress; to community service and grantmaking; to getting to know the other debutantes and mothers— every moment was special and will be treasured.
This year, I am so pleased to co-chair our 61st Annual Cotillion and I look forward to celebrating the beauty, grace and accomplishments of our 2024 Debutantes. I look forward to this year’s cotillion and working with the debutantes and families.
