The Lamorinda Chapter of National Charity League (NCL) recognized and celebrated 21 graduating seniors in a ceremony filled with poignant speeches, dinner, dancing and a generous donation to Monument Crisis Center (MCC), March 27.
Alexa Gambero and Tina Ross, from MCC, accepted the class gift at the event, which took place at the Saint Mary’s Soda Center in Moraga, marking the culmination of their six years of service to the community.
The young women began their journey in the mother-daughter philanthropic organization as seventh graders, and have collectively volunteered more than 5,300 hours to those in need.
NCL’s Lamorinda Chapter supports many local non-profit organizations through its mission to foster mother-daughter relationships in its commitment to community service, leadership development and cultural experiences.
