Celebrating Elizabeth Seriff

On September 12th, 2021 Girlstart lost a longtime friend and advocate in Elizabeth Seriff. Over the past decade, Elizabeth was an active volunteer and supporter of Girlstart, served as a board member of Girlstart for 5 years, and was co-chair of our 2012 Annual Luncheon. 

Through the years she supported our fundraising events, helped create strategic plans, and spread the word about Girlstart at info booths. Not only did she graciously volunteer her time, but it was also a family affair. Her daughter Maya crafted and created Valentines for donors, and her husband, Jason, updated our computer labs and advised on our technical needs. 

Girlstart is grateful to have been a benefactor of her activism and kindness, especially her passionate participation on the board, her leadership of the advancement committee, and her proactive efforts in training board members on fundraising for the Send a Girl to Camp campaign. She truly cared for all the staff, often taking time out of her busy schedule to personally recognize them by bringing lunch or saying thank you. Her legacy will not be forgotten and her efforts will impact our organization for years to come.
