Division Avenue High School Sophomores
Alex Sorbello and Bailey Gribben won a contest and were invited by the
NBC News staff to join them in the taping of their holiday sing along TV
commercial .
They went to the NBC Studios and met with the President
of NBC , anchors, reporters and staff and joined them by the ice rink
at Rockefeller Center to tape a 60 second and a 30 second commercial
that will air on NBC throughout December.They are standing on the left
side of the group- Alex is in front row , next to the lady with the
green coat. Bailey is standing behind the person next to Alex. Maria,
Alex's Mom , is standing next to Bailey. This was such a cool experience
for them . They even got a mention on the NBC 5 o'clock news.The commercial will begin to air on NBC this weekend.
On another note , recently Alex Sorbello celebrated her Sweet 15
birthday and she generously donated $500 of her gift money to Bailey
Gribben's fundraising for Children's Tumor Foundation , for which he has
so far raised over $30,000 in the past 3 years to help fund research
for a cure for Neurofibromatosis . This selfness act of generosity from
Alex is to be admired and applauded. Bailey's ability to inspire such
generosity and support from friends and family is amazing. To make a
donation to help Bailey find a cure for NF go to his fundraising page
