Throughout her 22 years, she sought opportunities to learn and grow and to help others. Today, her hopes and dreams live on through the work of the Erin Levitas Foundation. A happy, bubbly child, Erin exuded joy and confidence. In the first grade, she was diagnosed with dyslexia and attended the internationally recognized Jemicy School in Owings Mills, MD for students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences.There, Erin began to understand how she learned and to advocate for herself in school and in all areas of her life.Building upon what she learned at Jemicy, Erin then attended St. Timothys School, a rigorous all-girls high school in Baltimore, MD, where she continued to flourish academically, athletically, and in leadership roles. She went on to Wake Forest University where she immersed herself in campus life, joining sorority Alpha Delta Pi, actively participating in Hillel, and serving as the only student member of a university board that wrote academicpolicies. She served as a head tour guide and was named a Theta Chi little sister.Back in Baltimore over a holiday break, Erin was visiting a friend and was r_aped by someone she knew. She started sleeping more, had her lowest grades and experienced constant stomach aches. She hid the trauma from her parents. Her world was turned upside down. Erin knew she needed support and that she wasnt the only survivor who would. She started a campus support group for individuals who were survivors of s_exual violence. But this was just the beginning. She also changed her career path, making plans to go to law school to prepare for a career as an advocate for survivors of s_exual assault. She had accepted a spot at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law and was to start in the Fall of 2016.On January 16, 2016, just a month shy of her 23rd birthday, Erin passed away from rare cancer, Ewings sarcoma. However, she left a legacy that lives on not only through her story but through the Foundation, which her familyfounded to change the world for those living with the pain of s_exual assault and r_ape and to eliminate the experience she and many others had from ever happening again.
