The women of the Dallas Cotillion Club serve in a volunteer capacity alongside Genesis Women's Shelter & Support to aid the $7.3 million it takes to keep the shelter running in order to provide emergency shelter, transitional housing, and counseling services. Each year DCC hosts fundraising and awareness events in tandem with our annual black-tie gala - held this year on April 26th 2025 at The Drey Hotel.

In 1944, the Dallas Cotillion Club was founded as the Junior Arts League of Dallas, focused on serving the Dallas community and connecting young women with common interests. 

Today, as one of the premier social clubs for women, the Dallas Cotillion Club remains focused on similar initiatives. DCC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of young professional women devoted to promoting volunteerism and developing the potential of women.

Members of the Dallas Cotillion Club are heavily involved in the Dallas community participating in many other organizations including: the Junior League of Dallas, The Junior Conservancy, Idlewild Debutantes, Junior Associates of the Dallas Museum of Art, Slipper Club and various sorority and college alumni associations.
