She studied at Peabody Prep, has sung in many a cappella groups and now she is releasing her first CD,—a collection of Christmas favorites—with all proceeds to benefit the Hospice of the Chesapeake. “The reason for initially recording the CD was I wanted to be able to leave a musical legacy for my grandchildren,” Gilligan said. “After it was in progress I decided I was doing it for them, but I want to see it give money to something good.
