Third Annual Rush HeARTS Education Luncheon

Rush co-founder Russell Simmons and actress/hostess Cynthia Nixon.

Last week on Valentine’s Day, actress Cynthia Nixon hosted the third annual Rush HeARTS Education Valentine’s Day Luncheon at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Presented by the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation, the luncheon served as an opportunity to highlight the philanthropic efforts of some generous celebrities as well as raise funds for the foundation’s educational programs.

Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation funds educational programs geared towards providing New York’s inner city youth with exposure and access to the arts, such as Rush Galleries in the Schools, Rush Toddlers, Rush Kids, and Rush Teens. These programs are designed to inspire students, provide positive alternatives to high-risk behaviors, and support improved academic performance through afterschool and weekend arts education.
