Justine Simmons and Rev. Run, stars of the hit MTV reality series Run’s House, shared their secrets for successful parenting with The Today Show’s Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford.

Run DMC pioneer Rev. Run has signed on as the brand ambassador and spokesman for the Kool-Aid KaBOOM! Initiative, a national non-profit organization which aims to build 24 playgrounds in cities around the U.S.

“I grew up drinking and loving Kool-Aid and associate it with fun childhood memories,” the star of MTV’s hit reality series Run’s House says. “I’m personally committed to bringing families together — at the dinner table, in communities and on playgrounds. I’m hopeful that by working together, Kool-Aid, KaBOOM!, and I can make a real difference in kids’ lives by allowing them to have fun and create the memories that will serve them well for many years to come.”
