April 21, 2004 – The Stacey Levitt Women and Sport Scholarship is in memory of a very special 18-year-old woman who was struck down by a car while she was jogging on Aug. 30, 1995.
She was a superior athlete, a top student, and loved by many. She participated in sport for the sheer joy of the experience. She loved the camaraderie, the teamwork, and the competition and she displayed that love in many sports – swimming, scuba diving, taikwondo, triathlon, gymnastics and jazz. Stacey always strived to be the best she could be, and filled her life with joy and meaning.
