Shemia F. Washington, Esq.
Cotillion General Chairman
My Dearest Foundation:
It is with immense pride and gratitude that I pen this letter to you. Committing to a life of service is answering the ultimate call from our Father. It has been my sincere honor to serve as General Chairman for our 35th Prevue of Celestial Pearls Debutante Cotillion. Today after months of service to our community, we watch in awe as 31 beautiful and accomplished young ladies make their decent into society.
It is my prayer for them that they remember the pearls of wisdom, education, etiquette, motivation, service, self-esteem/self-worth and culture that we have given them. I trust that they remember to love themselves and be authentically intentional about living their best lives.
To my fellow sisters in service, the members of the Forever Pink Fou ndation, let me close my letter with something for us to remember as we serve. Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said “if women are healthy and educated, their families will flourish. If women are free from violence, their families will fl ourish. If women have a chance to work and earn as full and equal partners in society, their families will flourish. And when families flourish, communities and nations do as well.” Let’s continue to be intentional in our service so that we may impact n ot just DeKalb County but beyond.
Yours in Service I remain,
Shemia F. Washington

Debutantes, this SIGNIFICANT accomplishment is a testament to your hard work, dedication, and commitment to EXCELLENCE.

I, along with the 18,000-plus members of the South Atlantic Region, celebrate with you. We celebrate the recognition of such an outstanding group of young women in the state of Georgia.
As stated by Harriett Tubman, “Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” You, the Celestial Pearls, have the ability to change the world. Family, friends, and other guests believe in you. They know your potential, and that is why they have gathered here this evening to prevue and to celebrate your EXCELLENCE.
I applaud all parents, mentors, workshop presenters, and foundation members who took the time to prepare these 31 young ladies for this cotillion. You have set the stage for them to become conquerors and productive citizens who understand the stellar impact a Celestial Pearl can make in our world now and in the future You’ve also given them the tools needed for finer womanhood – etiquette, grace, social skills, intellect and more. I also am excited and inspired as I think about the impact of our youth mentoring programs in the South Atlantic Region I commend the Forever Pink Foundation, Inc., as it continues to make a SIGNIFICANT mark in DeKalb County, Georgia, and in our region.
Again, congratulations, Debutantes. You are destined for success!

It is indeed my pleasure to extend best wishes to the Forever Pink Foundation on its 35th Debutante Cotillion with the majestic theme of “A Prevue of Celestial Pearls” . The members of the Forever Pink Foundation, Inc., an affiliate of Lambda Epsilon Omega Chapter, are to be applauded for the commitment to serve mankind through the devotion of extensive resources to the youth in DeKalb County, Georgia.
The Forever Pink Foundation’s reputation, as an affiliate of Lambda Epsilon Omega, is unprecedented in the community and speaks volumes in terms of the amount of scholarship funds provided to deserving young people over the past thirty-five years, the innovative community service activities benefitting targeted groups in Dekalb County and the educational, social and cultural experiences afforded to the many participants. This reputation extends beyond the geographical boundaries of Dekalb County, Georgia and well into the greater metropolitan Atlanta area. The record shows that the young ladies and gentlemen that have been a part of the Debutante Cotillion during the past thirty years have gone on to accomplish great things in the world!
Indeed, I am exuberant, ecstatic, and filled with excellent joy as a former President of Lambda Epsilon Omega and as the first elected President of the Forever Pink Foundation.

Foundation History
In 1985, Lambda Epsilon Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated presented the first Debutante Cotillion, A Prevue of Celestial Pearls, for young African American high school seniors in DeKalb County as its signature fundraiser. The Cotillion program’s focus was on Scholarship, Cultural and Social Training, Cultural Awareness, Proper Etiquette, Educational/Financial Information and Community Service. In later years, the program was extended to include high school juniors as Sub-Debutantes. This enabled the Chapter to broaden its reach of young women on the threshold of adulthood using similar goals established for the Debutantes.
In 2000, the Chapter established a foundation, Lambda Epsilon Omega Foundation, Incorporated, with the Debutante Cotillion being its primary fundraiser to support the Foundation’s goal of serving the community through scholarship, support of the arts and educational advancement. In 2011, the name of the Foundation was changed to The Forever Pink Foundation, Incorporated with a new focus to not only provide Cotillion scholarships, but to broaden their efforts to provide scholarships to the high schools in DeKalb County as well as to offer grant opportunities to non-profits in the community that supported the focus of the revamped Foundation: education, family, economics, health, social and environmental issues.
During the past thirty-five (35) years the Foundation has enriched the lives of young women and young men by providing over $940,000.00 in scholarships and over $185,000.00 in grants that support the arts, education, family, economics, health, social and environmental issues.
Precious Pearls - The Contributors
Since pre-historic times, pearls have been symbols of beauty and value. Cherished as symbols of purity and perfection, elegance and affluence, pearls are unusual gems. The only gem produced by a living animal, the pearl is truly a form of beauty born of the workings of nature.
The Forever Pink Foundation Incorporated is marking its 34th season of presenting “A Prevue of Celestial Pearls”. We take this opportunity to thank the parents and their contributors for their support and donations of our Celestial Pearls this Cotillion Season.
The Forever Pink Foundation, Incorporated also takes this opportunity to recognize and say “THANK YOU” to our Precious Pearls who have made this an evening to remember.

Always remember the Five W’s of Life: Who you are is what makes you special! Do not change for anyone. What lies ahead will always be a mystery. Do not be afraid to explore. When life pushes you over, you push back harder. Where there are choices to make, make the one you won’t regret. Why things happen will never be certain. Take it in stride and move forward. Congratulations on the Debutante!

I love you more than life itself.
