The Acalanes Chapter of National Charity League on March 7 recognized and celebrated its 21 graduating seniors in a lovely Senior Recognition event at the Orinda Country Club, marking the culmination of six years of service to the community for these dedicated young women. They began their journey in the mother-daughter philanthropic organization as seventh-graders, and have collectively volunteered more than 6,275 hours to local philanthropies, some of which support the arts or the environment, and many that provide health and social services to children, families, and the elderly. 

    Each year the graduating class of NCL's Acalanes Chapter selects a local nonprofit organization to support. This year, the 21 girls of the Class of 2026 opted to partner with Grateful Gatherings, an organization that believes that children and adults thrive outside the home if they have a safe, warm, properly equipped and furnished home. 

    NCL's Acalanes Chapter supports many local nonprofit organizations through its mission to foster mother-daughter relationships in its commitment to community service, leadership development, and cultural experiences.
