to view the official website. There is
information on Helen Marie Witty and how her life was tragically cut short by Carla
Wagner, an intoxicated and distracted driver. The money raised by this event is
for a memorial scholarship in Helen Witty's name, awarded to theatre students
who embody Helen's love of theatre and passion for life as well as their
academic and community service achievements.
Now, in
2015, the Helen Marie Witty Memorial Scholarship will receive its funding by
hosting a charity gala at Fairchild Tropical Gardens. The scholarship not only
benefits Miami Palmetto students, but has grown to include theatre students all
across the Miami area who lead by example and steer away from destructive
decisions in all aspects of their lives. 25% of the money we raise will be
appropriated for a permanent memorial to Helen in upcoming renovation of the
Miami Palmetto Senior High School Auditorium.
The goal is
to have 100-150 people in attendance and raise $20,000 to keep the scholarship
running for the next four years. The event will take place on February 20, 2015
from 7-11 pm at the Garden House in Fairchild Tropical Gardens. This Gala will
include a silent auction and entertainment with live cabaret-style student
performances from the most talented students in the Miami-area, as well as
honor past recipients of the Helen Marie Witty scholarship.
We hope you
can attend and participate. You can also
