CSF Alumni Newsletter: February 2026

February 13th, 2026


In January, our Young Leaders Committee met for their Annual Gala Kickoff Reception at the home of Cindy and Joe Wickwire. Throughout the evening, new and returning Young Leaders along with CSF alumni came together for an evening full of connection, excitement, and momentum as we gear up for the CSF Gala. 

To see more photos from the fun night, check out our blog.

Celebrate Excellence. Build Connections. Mentor the Next Generation.

Join us on Friday, February 27, 2026, for CSF’s Celebration of Excellence, a reimagined “Meet & Mentor” experience bringing together CSF High School Seniors, Industry Leaders and CSF Supporters. This morning event will focus on career conversations, mentorship, and the power of social capital—connecting scholars with alumni and professionals across a wide range of industries.

Alumni are invited to participate as mentors, share their professional journeys, and help strengthen the CSF community by building meaningful connections that last beyond the event. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating our scholars and investing in their future.

Email Stephen Lavoie at [email protected] to sign up.


Alumni Spotlight: Alejandro Baez

CSF recently reconnected with Alejandro Baez, a first-generation immigrant from the Dominican Republic and CSF scholarship recipient whose journey reflects resilience and service. A graduate of Bellesini Academy and St. John’s Prep, Alejandro became a strong advocate for educational equity and social justice and remains deeply engaged in public service through local advocacy, municipal campaigns, and his role on the Methuen Cultural Council.

Alejandro credits CSF with helping open doors and shape his path. He plans to attend law school and pursue a career in diplomacy, continuing to make an impact locally and globally.
