Placed near the fifth hole — her favorite spot on the course — the plaque symbolizes her enduring spirit. Her family and community are keeping her legacy alive through scholarships: The First Tee of Tampa Bay offers a $5,000 annual award in her name, and her parents’ Lexi’s Legacy Fund supports high school seniors and UF medical students. Lexi’s story is a sobering reminder of impaired driving’s cost — but her compassion, drive, and love for service continue to inspire and uplift others through education.
