Digital Literary Arts, Inc., (DLA) will host the 2012 “Sound Investments In
Youth” Awards Gala on Friday, June 22nd, 2012. DLA, also known as DLA Studios, is partnering

education, training, and performance experience. The evening will feature award
presentations to local champions committed to improving upon the communities,
quality of life, and futures of young people in the San Francisco Bay Area and
will also include live and musical and spoken word performances. The six 2012 DLA Honorees and award categories

DLA’s most prestigious award, the People’s Choice honor, is
being presented to Barbara Anne Gorin, VP of Fundraising for Guitars Not Guns

commitment to working with and for the needs of youth. Gorin was nominated for
her volunteer work with GNG by her colleague Darius Bruner as part of DLA’s
Facebook nomination campaign. In
addition, the evening will feature a live acoustic performance by Gorin as
one-half of the “The Breedloves,” along with fellow artist Jay
Kirkland.
