Swans Club prepares to present six debutantes

- From staff reports

The San Bernardino-based Swans Club, which provides support to college-bound teenage girls, is at the midway point of its 2022 debutante season.

The nonprofit organizati­on has recently held its traditiona­l mother-daughter luncheon and father-daughter event, and this year’s six debutantes will be presented Nov. 12 at the annual debutante ball at the San Bernardino DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, according to a news release.

The Swans Club, founded in 1960, offers scholarshi­ps and mentorship activities for the young women in the debutante program. This year’s theme is “Timeless Elegance and Purpose.”

The 2022 debutantes are Kendall Allen, a senior at Cajon High School in San Bernardino; Kayla Bodon, a senior at Eisenhower High School in Rialto; Kyndall Reddix-Brown, a senior at Cajon High School in San Bernardino; Hailey Hayes, a senior at Yucaipa High School; Terri Keel, a senior at San Gorgonio High School in San Bernardino; and Ja’Nyla Moreno, a senior at Cajon High School.

Because of rising college costs, the Swans Club has instituted a new structure for its donations. All donations for souvenir booklet advertisem­ents will go toward the Debutante Scholarshi­p Fund and program costs, while tickets for the debutante ball will be sold separately, no longer included in ad sales.
