Rapper/entrepreneur Ludacris and Timothy Durham, President of National Lampoon, teamed up to host a poolside afternoon party in Malibu, Ca on Saturday to raise money and awareness for the award-winning Ludacris Foundation.

Some of the celebrities that were in attendance were Lorenz Tate, Ciara, Pussycat Doll’s Melody Thorton, Brian White, Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed, Ryan Cabrera and Caroline D’Amore.

Guests had many opportunities to donate to the foundation by purchasing a cabana, using their winings from onsite casino games, purchasing raffle tickets for fabulous prizes, and by simply opening up their checkbooks.
