The 2026 Miss Fashionetta Cotillion is designed to prepare and support high school students for college and beyond. One of the only events of its kind in the Metropolitan Chicago area, the cotillion culminates in a series of educational and cultural activities that foster academic achievement and social responsibility. Proceeds raised from the event support programs and activities that empower communities and promote academic excellence. Funds are also awarded as college scholarships to help students secure access to higher education, one of the key components to success.
