      Hundreds of at-risk New York City youth affiliated with Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation -  supported programs had the time of their lives on Tuesday night at Rush Philanthropic’s Eighth Annual Youth Holiday Party sponsored by Target.

      It all happened at The Fillmore NY @ Irving Plaza. MTV’s Sway hosted the event, which included appearances by Russell Simmons, Danny Simmons, Rev Run and Justine Simmons' sons Jojo, Diggy and Russy of the MTV hit show "Run’s House," DJ Jazzy Joyce,  Kid Capri, Melyssa Ford and Hip-Hop personality Egypt.

      The night was a huge success as the kids screamed with surprise when the secret Santa and Mrs. Claus turned out to be the much-beloved Fatman Scoop and his wife Shonda,  and they could not get enough of the new Jason Foxx dance that made its premier,  "Time Travel." 

      And Styles P blew the kids away with a performance of his new song, "Blow Your Mind." The Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation is dedicated to providing disadvantaged urban youth with significant exposure and access to the arts, as well as providing exhibition opportunities to under-represented artists and artists of color.
