This past Thursday, Children’s Scholarship Fund brought together CSF parents, teachers, school administrators, supporters, and friends to a preview screening of Won’t Back Down. The new movie stars Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis as two determined mothers, one a teacher, who will stop at nothing to give their children a better education.

What a great occasion to celebrate giving parents a choice and giving children a chance!

Friends of CSF gathered for a pre-screening reception.

Administrators and faculty from Trey Whitfield School in Brooklyn (where several CSF Scholars are enrolled) came out to support CSF at the screening.
