Dr. Eddilisa Martin, Chair Greetings from the 2020 Jack and Jill Arlington Chapter Beautillion Chairs,
Wendy Walker, Co-chair
Tyra White, Co-chair On behalf of the Awesome Arlington chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc., it is
Geneeka Estrada, Co-chair with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 22nd Annual Beautillion Ball and
Eshandra Cox, Co-chair Fundraiser. It is our mission in Jack and Jill to nurture not just our children, but all
Dr. Felicia Abram, President children, and equip them to be the leaders of tomorrow. Our prayer is that this
experience has at least in some small way contributed toward that mission in our
Beaus’ lives. The beautiful fortunate turn, however, is that these outstanding
young men have blessed us and made our hearts so happy with their presence,
their smiles, and their determination.
Our theme this year, “Future Kings Reigning Over Their Destinies,“ directly speaks
to the preparation that these 11 young men have made and will continue to make
to take up the reigns as leaders in their families, communities, and even
throughout this nation. They have participated in the Arlington Chapter
Beautillion programming for 7 months concentrating on activities that develop
both leadership and life skills. And we are so excited to celebrate them tonight,
not only for the hard work that they have put into Beautillion, but also for their
work in academics, sports, and leadership in their communities!
We want to thank their very supportive parents who have allowed us to partner
with them these last several months. Our desire was to partner with these
families to put an exclamation mark on the end of their journey from children to
young adults. To the families and Beaus participating in the Beautillion this year,
we want to say that our journey does not have to end with the conclusion of the
grand event. We will continue to lift you in prayer for years to come and we want
you to come back and keep us up to date on how God is increasing your territory.
We are so proud of you and so excited to see the paths you take.
A big “Thank You” goes out to Captain Julius Walker, Mr. Albert Mitchell,
Mr. Roderick Russell, Mr. Ron Abram, Mr. Will Glover, and all the fathers of Jack
and Jill, and fathers and father figures of the Beaus who have taken an active and
involved role in planning and executing many of our events, and who have
stepped up to be there whenever they have been needed. We could not do this
without you.
This experience has been a lot of work for us all, but the reward is so worth it, and
we are so grateful that we’ve been allowed to be part of this wonderful
experience for our chapter, and for these fine young men and their families.
Sincerely,
The 2020 Beautillion Committee
