With the rich voice of someone talented way beyond her years, 16-year-old Elizabeth Lewy dazzled the audience with a little jazz, a dose of romance, a couple of sentimental tunes and a great deal of energy Saturday when the Statesboro Regional Sexual Assault Center hosted an event at the Whitaker Black Box Theater to raise funds for a new location for the non-profit organization. The building used for the center's office was sold recently. The center provides direct help to victims of sexual assault of all ages on a 24/7 basis in Statesboro and Bulloch, Jenkins and Screven counties, as well as making services available to six surrounding counties.
