Cindy Kennedy, a City of Torrance spokesperson, announced that Lindsay and Michael Duarte are inviting the community to a commemorative walk at Miramar Park on Saturday, Jan. 10, starting at 10 a.m., to mark the 20th anniversary of the scholarship their family established after their daughter was killed in 2006.
The announcement said the Lisonbee Dewart Memorial Scholarship Foundation (name as recorded in the announcement) has "helped young athletes from West High with college scholarships" since 2006. Kennedy said the story of the fatal crash and the family's response was featured on Torrance City cable.
