UPDATE: We are in awe of this community. Thank you so much to each person/family who helped us reach our bike rack goal in only a few HOURS!!! Please keeping sharing. The remainder of the funds will be held for the Steward family to use how they best see fit in honor of their daughter.

To honor Cile’s memory, Zilker Elementary families are raising funds to create a new bike rack in her name – a lasting tribute where friends, family, and future Panthers can gather, pause, and remember the joy she brought into our lives. Cile’s vibrant spirit, kindness, and love for community touched everyone who knew her.

From Kindergarten to 2nd grade she would often be found riding her bike with her mom, dad and sister Millie - a ritual that reflected her adventurous spirit and love for the simple joys of life. Her favorite colors were purple and turquoise, bright and full of life, just like her.

Our goal is $10,000 to bring the artistic/functional installation to life. Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to building something meaningful in her honor. Bike funds will be sent to 13 Studios.

Cile’s family and friends often sense her presence in the flutter of hummingbirds — small, vibrant messengers of her spirit. May this project, like those hummingbirds, remind us that her light is still all around us.
