About the Allison Vandal Legacy Award: Allison Vandal won this same statewide award in 2016. The judges were moved by Allison’s interest in learning lessons from history (bystanders vs. UPstanders) and inspiring others with hope for the future. Allison educated and helped many classmates, and her legacy provides the funding for the continuance of this important award recognition program for youth.
