The Foundation will present its first time "Responsible Artist Award" (RAA) to Carolina Liar, which gives recognition to artists that live an exemplary life style and serve as role models today's youth. In today's tabloid-filled media world that seems to focus on the wrongdoings of today's stars, we feel it is appropriate to recognize artists that truly set a good example for our youth.
