Honor Cathy Rolland by Investing in the Future
When we first began planning Cathy's retirement celebration, we imagined bringing friends and colleagues together to honor her extraordinary career and the profound impact she has had on Jewish early childhood education.
Then, in true Cathy Rolland fashion, she asked a simple question:
"How can we make the biggest difference for the field?"
That question changed everything.
Rather than hosting a traditional celebration, we've chosen to honor Cathy in the way she would value most—by directing our efforts toward the future.
Your gift to the Zukow-Rolland Seeds of Compassion Fund will help nurture, inspire, and develop the next generation of Jewish early childhood leaders, ensuring that Cathy's legacy continues to grow for years to come.
Although we won't all gather in one room, we invite you to celebrate Cathy by sharing your memories, photos, and messages through our online Tribute Journal and video gallery. Together, we'll create a lasting tribute to a leader, mentor, colleague, and friend whose influence will continue to shape our field for generations.
For those who would like to celebrate with Cathy in person, you are warmly invited to join us for Shabbat services and brunch on Saturday, January 23, in Seattle. Space is limited, so if you are interested in attending, please contact Tricia Ginis at tginis@ecerjj.org for additional information.
Whether you Plant a Seed or Sustain the Legacy, every gift helps cultivate compassionate leadership and strengthens the future of Jewish early childhood education.
Thank you for honoring Cathy by investing in the future.
