Leeway founder Catherine Kennedy (above) died in June of 1998 after months of struggle with cancer. That spring her friends and colleagues established the Catherine Kennedy Foundation for Leeway at The Community Foundation. Doug Rae, Catherine's friend, a retired Yale professor and former Leeway board chair, has called her "the inspiration for a whole generation of New Haven leadership."
