On
Friday, July 28, 2000, Elizabeth Powitzky lost her battle with breast
cancer. Elizabeth was 27 years old when she was diagnosed with breast
cancer and was a three-year survivor when she died. In facing this
disease, Elizabeth chose to fight not only for herself but for all
of us. In 1998 and 1999, Elizabeth chaired the BMW Ultimate Drive
for the Cure held at BMW of Nashville. This annual event is nationwide,
and BMW donates $1 for every mile driven. Under
Elizabeth's leadership, the Nashville event was one of the most
successful in the country. In addition, Elizabeth volunteered as
a Greater Nashville Race Committee member, and she worked on the
Lee Denim Day event. For the past year, Elizabeth served as Junior
League Project Chair on the Affiliate's Board of Directors.
It is hard to accept this great loss, but it is
because of women like Elizabeth that we must remain committed to
the fight against breast cancer.
