The Inner-City Scholarship Fund (ICSF) Professionals' Team provides volunteer
opportunities for young business professionals to get involved in the efforts of
The Catholic Schools Foundation. The fundamental purpose of the ICSF Professionals'

Children's Christmas Party
- the newest tradition to the ICSF Professionals' Team, this event does not raise
money for the ICSF but is rather a unique, fun opportunity to help make Christmas
a little brighter for children in our schools. The 2nd annual party was held on
December 16, 2006 at Sacred Heart Elementary in Lynn for nearly 50 pre-k, kindergarten
and first grade students. An enjoyable time was had by both children and volunteers.
