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.
