Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation is dedicated to providing disadvantaged urban youth with significant exposure and access to the arts.

Russell Simmons was involved in the creation of Rush. "The Rush Foundation was my brother's idea," says Simmons. "He's an artist. I know that a lot of us survived the inner-city because of a chance to practice who we are.

"The Rush Foundation is to help the underserved communities, because schools had cut out all of the (arts) programs. Creativity is a very important part of the education process. School is a prison if you don't cultivate creativity.
