Campolindo High School junior Mina Lim won the Presidential Award for her music performance of "Rise Up" by A. Day as part of the 2023 Bay Area Creative Foundation Competition. The Bay Area Creative Foundation was established "to celebrate the importance of creativity in all our lives." BACF seeks to encourage and support young artists by providing awards programs that promote and honor their creativity. The Presidential Award is BACF's highest honor.

"After COVID, we were hearing a lot of stories of attacks on Asian Americans, especially around the Bay Area. My Grandparents were both in their 80's and I was really worried that they would be targets, and at the same time scared yet wanting to do something to try to stop these attacks," Lim said in her BACF Artist Statement. Lim decided to create her video to show people that we are all humans living together and surviving together.
