For the 4th year in a row Alex Lifeson is participating in The Kidney Foundation of Canada's A Brush of Hope project. Alex Lifeson along with dozens of other Canadian celebrities have donated paintings to be auctioned off to raise money for the charity. The A Brush of Hope Gala will take place on November 5th at the Delta Hotel in Fredricton, NB. Paintings from over 100 Canadian celebrities will be put up for auction on eBay from November 5th through the 15th. From the website:

After three years of being based in Ontario, A Brush of Hope is now coming to New Brunswick!

Alex Lifeson (RUSH), Red Green (Steve Smith), Jessica Holmes, Rita MacNeil and Stompin’ Tom Connors are just a few of the celebrities who have taken up brushes and paints to create small masterpieces to help the nearly 2 million Canadians who either have kidney
disease or are at risk.

To own these one-of-a-kind, hand crafted works:

  • Go to eBay.ca on November 5th
  • Type in kidney foundation into the search field
  • Bid away!

Visit our page on Facebook and invite your friends to join in the bidding!

"It is through the support by all of us that the Kidney Foundation of Canada can continue to provide hope for those who are not so fortunate and must live with this debilitating condition. I urge you to take the time to help in any way you can, whether by donation or some other method to realize the dream of a cure. Even a little goes a long way..." - Alex Lifeson

Thanks to RushFanForever for the heads up.
