RUSH Guitarist's Painting Raises $5,700 For Kidney Foundation Of Canada

November 13, 2007

For the second consecutive year, RUSH guitarist Alex Lifeson auctioned one of his original paintings (preview) on eBay to support The Kidney Foundation of Canada. The winning bid was $5,700.

Last year, Lifeson, along with about 90 other Canadian celebrities, created paintings to help bring attention to the crisis surrounding kidney disease and kidney-related illness, not only in Canada, but around the globe.

After these paintings were exhibited at various locations in Southern Ontario, an online auction was held, garnering over $16,000 for the charity.
