Family Gives Generously of Time and Resources
Beth and Tom Eckert’s relationship with The Potomac School began in 1996, when daughter
Kathryn ’09 entered Kindergarten. Since then, two more children, Lindsay ’11 and Ryan ’12
have followed in their sister’s footsteps.
Throughout their years at Potomac, Beth and Tom have become involved in many aspects of
school life, making generous gifts of time, talent and financial resources. These gifts include Beth’s
leadership roles in Panther Pride, the auction, the spring benefit, the hospitality committee and
many others, Tom’s service on the Board of Trustees, and their combined support of the Annual
Fund, The Campaign for Potomac’s Future, the Auction, Book Fair, and other special projects.
Through their participation in the Second Century Endowment Society, Beth and Tom’s support of
the School will extend far beyond Ryan’s graduation in 2012. As Co-Chairs of the Society, Beth and Tom
lead a group whose members have committed to provide for Potomac through their will or estate plans
and will help ensure that Potomac’s excellent teachers and outstanding programs continue to flourish.
“Our family has been a huge beneficiary of being part of the Potomac community for these
many years. Education is very dear to our hearts, and planned giving of this nature is the way to
assure that Potomac remains at the forefront of educating the future generations of leaders.”
We are delighted to have Beth and Tom Eckert as our partners in philanthropy.
Membership in the Second Century Endowment Society is open to everyone. For more information

Director of Development, Jinene Christian, at 703-749-6326 or jchristian@potomacschool.org.
