Getting a phone call from a stranger is often associated with those unsolicited sales calls you try to avoid. But imagine getting a call from someone you never met before telling you that your child has won a scholarship to a private school?

That’s what happened earlier this week when CSF Philadelphia held its first Lottery Day Celebration. Volunteers and staffers gathered at the offices of Boenning and Scattergood to congratulate families who will be able to enroll their children in private school this fall with CSF Philadelphia scholarships.

This year, more than 2,700 children are using CSF Philadelphia scholarships. You can check out more photos from the day at the CSF Philadelphia website.
