For Erica and Steven Ratner, joining Stroll for the Soul is deeply personal. Erica grew up watching the women in her family help build Seacrest, following the 5th commandment to honor your parents.
“My grandmother, Anne Ratner, Great Aunt Sally Ratner, Great Aunt Pearl Cutler, Great Aunt Frieda, and Aunt Pauline helped build Seacrest alongside the other incredible members of the Jolly 16. I’m proud to continue my family's legacy of honoring our parents and supporting seniors, and I hope you’ll join me.”
Steven served as Chair of the Board of Directors of Seacrest Village for four years and currently serves on the board of Seacrest at Home. His commitment to Seacrest has been shaped both by what he has seen professionally and by the gratitude he feels for the care his mother, Lois, receives as a resident.
Through his legal work with families navigating assisted living and skilled nursing care throughout San Diego County, Steven has seen firsthand how much the quality of care, leadership, and priorities of a facility can affect residents and their families. He wants to do what he can to make sure Seacrest can continue putting the people who live here first for generations to come. That is why the Ratner’s are inaugural Sponsors of the event and have also registered to walk and raise funds.
For Erica and Steven, supporting Seacrest is both personal and generational, carrying forward a family tradition of caring for people as they age and making sure they are treated with dignity.
There are many ways to be part of that same tradition. Please consider supporting Erica https://pro.gofundme.com/fundraiser/7637372) and Steven's (https://pro.gofundme.com/fundraiser/7423953) pages, and register to join us on November 15.

Or start your own team for your family, group of friends, or in honor of someone you love.
