Education

"Education is a driving force in my life. My family came from (very!) modest means, but from my early days in the Cambridge Public Schools I learned that there is no limit to what you can achieve when you better yourself through education. My greatest achievement has been helping to raise 3 college graduates, but I also take great pride in how education has helped me create a successful business which provides quality jobs and is a positive force in the community." -Ray Ciccolo
Here at the Ciccolo Family Foundation, we support: |
