About Jack and Jill of America, Inc. Montgomery Chapter

Impressed with the aims and philosophy of Jack and Jill of America, Inc., a group of mothers in Montgomery, Alabama organized a provisional chapter in 1954. On October 1, 1955, the Montgomery Chapter was formally established with 33 charter members. In 1980 during the administration of Mrs. Bennye Black Reasor, the chapter sponsored its first Beautillion Militaire. Mrs. Rosalyn King served as chairperson of this event, and the late Attorney Solomon Seay was master of ceremonies. Given the various venues through which young women could shine, the chapter wanted something that highlighted young men.

​This biennial event focuses on a series of character building social, cultural and educational activities including a career workshop, a health workshop, and a rites of passage ceremony all designed to help young men from the community make that crucial transition from boyhood to manhood. Not only has the Beautillion Militaire become an increasingly popular event, but also it has raised thousands of dollars for the Jack and Jill of America Foundation. Those thousands of dollars have been reinvested in the community through charitable contributions and has garnered the chapter numerous recognition from the National and Regional organization. Over the years Beautillion has allowed the chapter to make generous contributions to such worthwhile organizations as Common Ground Ministries, AIDS Outreach, Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation, and Alabama State University.

​During its 65-year history, the local chapter has provided enrichment and assistance to its members and to the community-at-large. Always aware of our rich heritage, the present chapter members strive to continue the legacy, as we meet the challenges of today and prepare for the future.
