“Hamptons,NY” Russell Simmons, Danny Simmons and The Rush Philanthropic Foundation is back for their 14th season in the Hamptons with their annual 14th ART FOR LIFE Hamptons Benefit. This year’s theme I am told is “Field of Dreams” and the Attire is dreamy hues of Peacock Green, Aquamarine& Amethyst“. This will be the first year that the annual event will not be hosted at Russell Simmons estate in East Hampton. I am sure the event will be just as elegant as always. I am excited for this years entertainment Maxwell ,Estelle & Rapper Rick Ross
Celebrating the creative energy of our New York City Youth!
I look forward to attending this program every year not just because of the star power that attends but 
because they are doing some pretty fantastic work in the inner-city communities with art and music for students whose schools have eliminated these programs due to budget cutbacks. Russell & Danny continue their vital support to arts programs dedicated to serving urban children and emerging artist.
