Five seniors from Crescenta Valley High School were celebrated at the 68th annual National Charity League, Inc.-Glendale Chapter Senior Presentation Ball on March 2, held at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena. The five are among 18 Ticktockers who were honored for their service to the community, leadership and cultural pursuits, which are the pillars of the mother-daughter organization.

The five seniors are Madeline Bohman, Peyton Lindman Marshall, Emma Cassin, Audrey Ranek and Kira Webster. The mistress of ceremonies for the ball was Robin George, an Emmy Award-winning television journalist.

Madeline Bohman has been active in the community while in the NCL, assisting at Twelve Oaks, donating blood to the American Red Cross and working as a YWCA summer camp counselor. Volunteering connected her with children, enabling her to share stories with seniors and providing help to people who needed it. Her passion for helping others inspired her Girl Scout Gold Award project. She renovated the living room at Glendale YWCA Sunrise Shelter. Bohman is also a hard-core CrossFit enthusiast and played softball at CV, rides wakeboards, loves the outdoors and running with her dog. She expresses her creative side by being an astrophotographer. She is the daughter of Sharla and Mark  Bohman.

Volunteering has brought Peyton Lindman Marshall great joy, and she especially loved working as a counselor at the YWCA summer camp. Her connection with campers have made a lifelong impression on her. She participates in her church youth group and went on a mission trip building homes in the Dominican Republic. Marshall is a four-year varsity lacrosse player at CV and currently is team captain. She was selected for the 2018 Women’s National Developmental Team. She is a member of NHS and CSF. She enjoys CrossFit training, spending time with her family and friends.

Emma Cassin’s most enjoyable NCL experience was volunteering in the summer at the YWCA camp. She said she loved interacting with the children and created special bonds that she will always remember. After playing soccer for several years, she opted to take up coaching and refereeing. Cassin coaches an all-star team with her dad. Interacting with the girls and helping them develop their soccer skills are particularly rewarding. She said she is most proud of her ability to create genuine team spirit, along with strength of character and improved self-esteem. Cassin enjoys snowboarding, traveling and music. She is quick-witted, nurturing, passionate, honest and determined.
