This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Dances foster community, offer a creative outlet, and teach discipline and teamwork, benefiting students far beyond the event itself.
- $4,158 spent. 226 Students received a Boerne Cotillion shirt to wear at all events except the 2 dances. It's important for students to have a group shirt because they foster unity, identity, and belonging, making students feel part of something bigger, reducing peer pressure, and boosting spirit for the organization. All of the students wearing the same shirt promoted equality by minimizing visible economic differences, improving focus by removing fashion distractions, enhancing safety by making outsiders easily identifiable, and building a sense of discipline and professionalism, much like a sports team's gear.
