Russell Simmons Raises Funds For At Risk Students Over Vegan Dinner

Russell Simmons hosted an event in his home for two schools that provide environments for many African-American and Latino boys to succeed in an area where their educational outcomes aren’t always good. The event raised $250,00 for the Eagle Academy Foundation, which supports three New York City schools for the young men.
Providing the food was Acquolina Catering, which served fried tofu with cilantro sauce and Portobello burger and chocolate mousse–all vegan items.
Two of the schools boast an 85% graduate rate for the students, compared to the average of 50% for African-American and Latino men in other schools in the region.
