Twenty-seven young women from La Cañada Flintridge, Glendale and the surrounding area will be on the runway modeling clothing from Macy’s at the 72^nd annual tea and fashion show on Sunday, April 28 at 2 p.m. by this year’s Ticktockers. It is expected that the event at the Hilton in Glendale will be attended by NCL, Inc. members, family and friends. NCL philanthropic partners Ascencia, Door of Hope, Twelve Oaks and Union Station will be honored and provided grants at the event.

The young women, or Ticktockers as they are known, began their NCL journey in the seventh grade, working with their mothers, called patronesses, to support the chapter’s philanthropic partners. National Charity League provides experience in community service, leadership development and cultural experiences, which are the pillars of the NCL program.

As high school juniors the girls participated in the long-standing annual tradition of the fashion show. This event teaches them to hone their presentation and public speaking skills. Most importantly, it builds confidence and celebrates teamwork. In preparation, the girls worked together to determine the theme, took lessons with a professional coach and collaborated on the event planning details.
