Ludacris has been honored with the Developing Options Humanitarian Award for his work raising awareness about juvenile diabetes.

The rapper accepted the award at the Developing Options Diabetes Awareness & Healthy Living Celebrity Benefit Concert, which took place this past Sunday at Los Angeles’ Club Nokia and featured appearances by a varied list of sports and entertainment stars.

Who were all on hand to help increase the awareness of juvenile diabetes.

Actor Ving Rhames and NFL players DeSean Jackson and Dwight Freeney participated in the festivities, which were concluded with a performance by Luda. The show also included performances by Rich Boy, Ray J and the New Boyz.

Luda is no stranger to charity work, having launched the Ludacris Foundation back in 2000 to get teenagers involved in creative arts. He has also served as a spokesman for Act Against AIDS.
