The Arlington Chapter Beautillion: Celebrating 26 Years of Black Excellence
The Arlington Chapter proudly presents the 2026 Beautillion Ball and Presentation of Young Men of Valor: Walking in Purpose, Rising in Power. This distinguished event will honor seven exceptional African American high school seniors as they make their formal debut into society. The evening will showcase elegance, inspiration, and achievement, providing an invaluable opportunity to honor and support these emerging leaders as they step confidently into manhood.
As the hallmark event of the Arlington Chapter, the Beautillion serves as a formal recognition and celebration of college-bound African American young men. These young men - our beaux corps, participate in an intensive and transformative program designed to cultivate character, leadership skills, and a commitment to service. Their developmental journey encompasses college and career planning, mentorship opportunities, formal etiquette instruction, community service initiatives, the Boys-to-Men Retreat, and comprehensive leadership training, equipping them for success in higher education and beyond.
We invite you to join us in supporting and celebrating this year’s distinguished beaux:
Beau Michael Bethune
Beau Caden Bowles
Beau Carson Dunn
Beau Camden Kennedy
Beau David Henderson
Beau Jaelyn Moss
Beau Tayejon Thomas
Your partnership helps us empower these young men as we host the 26th Beautillion Foundation Fundraiser. Ticket and ad sales will serve as the final step in this impactful journey. Please note that you will be able to select the designated Beau you are supporting after you have completed your ticket or advertisement purchase.
We look forward to welcoming you to our 26th Beautillion presentation on March 28, 2026, at the Live! by Loews Arlington Hotel. Proceeds will benefit the Jack and Jill of America Foundation and other 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations serving the Greater Arlington area.

For over three decades, the Arlington Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. has been building tomorrow's leaders in the Arlington, Texas community. Founded on September 12, 1992, by pioneering mothers Ms. Emma Walker and Mrs. Doris Johnson, the chapter emerged from a vision to create a supportive community dedicated to nurturing African-American youth. The organization traces its roots to the national Jack and Jill of America movement, established in 1938 in Philadelphia by Marion Stubbs Thomas, which brought together mothers committed to providing social, cultural, and educational opportunities for children ages 2-19. The Arlington chapter operates as part of the South Central region and represents a philosophy rooted in the belief that every child, given proper guidance and opportunity, can develop into a leader. As an invitation-only membership organization, the chapter creates an intimate community where mothers work together to strengthen their children through leadership development, volunteer service, philanthropic giving, and active civic participation. Members consistently report that Jack and Jill provides a safe, nurturing space where children develop confidence, forge meaningful friendships with peers who share similar values and goals, and gain exposure to diverse cultural and educational experiences. The chapter's commitment extends beyond individual families to broader community impact through organized service projects and collaborative initiatives. With a rich 32-year history in Arlington, the chapter continues to honor its founding principles while adapting programming to meet the evolving needs of families seeking to cultivate confident, socially aware, and civically engaged young people.
