The
Helen Witty Memorial Criterium
On June 1, 2000, the world lost an angel. The Helen Witty Memorial is in
memory of Helen Witty, a Palmetto High School thespian, who was killed
by a drunk driver while roller blading. The Helen Witty Scholarship Fund
was created in her memory providing a scholarship annually to a selected
thespian who demonstrates the excitement for life that Helen Witty
lived. All proceeds from the Helen Witty Memorial Criterium will benefit
the Helen Witty Scholarship Fund.
