A Tribute to Elle
Elle Taylor Seiden, the beloved daughter of our friend and former colleague Jason Seiden, lost her life on July 22, 2018 after bravely battling a debilitating disease called CRPS.
“ Elle lived her life exactly as we encourage ourselves and others to do so: fully and unapologetically. And though she never wanted to be anyone’s inspiration, she couldn’t help but to inspire everyone she met. (Starting with me.) Please help me honor her by putting a little extra love in the world today. Share love. Share light. Celebrate life. It’s important. Even now. Especially now. Because there’s a girl who wanted to but can’t anymore.”
– Jason Seiden
We ask you to join us and the HR community in supporting the Seiden family and honoring Elle’s memory by participating in #ATributeToElle, a day of giving, onFriday, August 10th, and making a donation to one of Elle’s favorite organizations, the Human Rights Campaign.
By inspiring and engaging all Americans, the Human Rights Campaign strives to end discrimination against LGBTQ citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.
On September 9th, 2018 the Human Rights Campaign will be hosting the Seiden family for a visit in Washington DC and flying a flag at their headquarters in honor of Elle’s memory.
“Elle’s advocacy for LGBTQ equality is an inspiration to us all. We are touched that HRC was one of Elle’s favorite charities, and it is our honor to fly a flag at our headquarters in her memory. We will hold her strength, courage and bravery as an example to follow as we continue our fight for full equality.”
– Chad Griffin, President, Human Rights Campaign.
