Mountain Brook's Alison Gorrie is one of 10 middle and high school students nationwide to win the Prudential Spirit of Community Award for her volunteer work.
Gorrie, 17, known as Alie B., received the award today in Washington, D.C., for her work organizing "Songs for Sight," a benefit concert last year that raised $420,000 for low-vision research and rehabilitation services at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The concert was Gorrie's brainchild.
