What started out as a $500 donation from Judson College education professor Gwen McCorquodale’s Sunday School class grew into a benefit concert bringing in enough money to put a new book into the hands of every Albert Turner Sr. Elementary School student and more than 1,000 new books in the Marion school’s library.
When McCorquodale’s Sunday School class at Vestavia Hills Baptist Church wanted to support literacy learning in Perry County, fellow classmate Michael Dulin, a Birmingham concert pianist, suggested a benefit concert.
Dulin performed in the spring as part of the church’s annual “Arts on the Mountain” concert series and raised more than $7,000.
