Jack and Jill Debutante Alana Preval

Hello, Friends and Family!

I hope that this message finds you well. I've recently been selected to participate in the Leadership Program and Debutante Cotillion hosted by the Greater Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. Along with 20 other Atlanta teens who have demonstrated academic excellence, I will make my debut on December 17, 2016.

Like most events of this type, there is a fundraising component. A portion of monies raised will go towards my college tuition, and another will support the Jack and Jill of America Foundation and its philanthropic and community service projects. I'd be honored to have your assistance in reaching my goal of $5000.

During my time as a Debutante, I've participated in educational and cultural activities, and will soon volunteer in a group community service activity before we begin learning choreography for the waltz. It's been a really great experience getting to know the other Debutantes and our mentors.

An honor student in the High Achievers Magnet program, this is my Senior year at Chamblee Charter High School and am very active in various activities on and off campus. After completing over 100 hours of community service, I've earned the Gold Award - the highest honor in Girl Scouts - with a project focused on poverty and benefitting youthSpark, a local non-profit. Although my project is completed, I'm still volunteering in this effort. Most recently, I became an inaugural member of the Youth United Board of United Way of Greater Atlanta.

The deadline for ads is November 6. Fundraising has a deadline of December 1. Please bookmark this page. I will be sending updates about my Debutante journey weekly. Thank you so much for your support. Please contact my mother, Erika Preval, with any questions.

Sincerely,
Alana Renee Preval
