RUSSELL SIMMONS AND FAMILY HOST ‘ART FOR LIFE’ BENEFIT
‘Living In Color’ was the theme for this year’s ‘Art for Life’ benefit. Russell Simmons, along with brothers Danny and Rev. Run, hosted their 13th annual Rush Philanthropic Arts charity event at Russell’s home in the Hampton Estates on Saturday, July 28, 2012. Both of Russell’s daughters, Ming and Aoki, were in attendance as were Run’s wife Justine and kids Vanessa, Angela, Joseph Jr., Diggy, Russell II, and Miley.
Numerous celebs attended the event and several stars, including Nick Cannon and Maria Carey, were honored at the dinner ceremony. All proceeds from the benefit (nearly $2 million was raised) went to fund Reverend Run and Russell Simmons’ charity, Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation.
For over 15 years, Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation has given inner-city children exposure to the arts. From singing to dancing, the foundation has managed to serve over 2,000 kids who would have otherwise not received a platform to openly express themselves creatively without the program’s help.

Wow ming is so beautiful,I luv everything about her,aoki is a model in de making
Ming and Aoki have grown so much! I can’t believe it! They’re starting to look like their mom.
Wow, yes! Everyone has grown! Aoki doesn’t look like a baby anymore, at all. She matured a lot, and it looks like Russy probably has grown some peach fuzz. Awww! LOL Miley’s grown a lot too! I love the Simmons family. =]
I see Trayvon Martin’s brother and his mom. =[
WOW!! Ming and Aoki have gotten so big and pretty. I LOVE the Simmons Clan. Look at little Miley…she’s such a cutie but I can’t believe she’s ONLY 3…not with teeth missing. I thought she was maybe 6.
DIGGY IS VERY HANDSOME. I LIKE HIS STYLE. I WISH MING WOULD WEAR HER HAIR NATURAL. I PREFER HER CURLS OVER THAT STRAIGHT HAIR. THEY ARE ALL GORGEOUS KIDS!
The two Daniel’s are dressed SO FABULOUS!!!
Look at the gorgeous Ming. I’m loving her hair.
Aoki looks so cute…she’s growing on me.
Miley has an odd expression. I can’t believe how big she is. Time flies.
Little Russell is getting so big, too. Cute kid!
Awww Trayvon Martin’s mom looks stunning! Look at cute litte Miley and wow has Russy grown up. Handsome guy.
Beautiful pictures.
Ming is just getting so pretty. Her hair looks beautiful.
Everyone looks nice. Beautiful family.
Can’t believe Miley is turning FOUR this September, look how big she looks. She doesn’t even look three! Love what Justine’s wearing. It is amazing how Ming resembles her mum so much and Aoki resembles her dad. Love this family though.
Love the Simmons family! Very close knit. Gotta love ‘em. Miley got so big. Ming’s hair is past her butt. So pretty. She reminds me of Angela. Time is flying!
WOW!!!…everyone is looking so good , I can’t believe how big the kids have gotten. I still remember when Miley was just a newborn , now she’s growing up to be such a pretty girl. I see my two favorite sister’s ( Aoki & Ming ) has changed up their styles a lot , and their just gorgeous as ever.
Ming And Aoki Are Gorgeous!!!
And My Lil Russy Is Going 2 Be Taller Then His Big Sis Soon,
