Rush Donates 100k To Canadian Museum

Posted about 1 year ago
Canadian rockers Rush donated $100,000 from the sale of tickets to last weekend's Winnipeg concert for that city's Museum for Human Rights, reports The Winnipeg Free Press.The group also announced today they will be selling museum T-shirts at all of the remaining Canadian stops on their Snakes and Arrows Live concert tour, and donating all of the proceeds from those sales.Rush's contributions will help meet the Museum's $105-million private sector fund-raising initiative, to help reach their $265 million goal.??Rush, Lee(far right)??"My band mates and I are proud to be associated with the creation of a Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg," Rush frontman Geddy Lee said in a written statement."Canadians are uniquely positioned to be leaders in championing such causes, and we applaud the efforts of the Asper family in making this museum a reality. We hope that Canadians across the country will join us in lending their support."http://www.canadianmuseumforhumanrights.com[CH]http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/story/4178954p-4768247c.html

  2. toronno says What kind of exhibits are in a museum of human rights? And who is going to visit it in Winnipeg? I'd rather they give the money to the museum of Toronno. Damn fine exhibits here...

  3. TylerDurden says sweet idea for the T-shirts, and to give all the shirt sales to the museum -> class act brother -> Although I am not a museum goer, they better be feckin outstanding if they need $265 million -> better be statues made of solid platinum in there or something, and I better be getting my balls fondled...
