Rush Autographed Gibson Guitar Auction Raises $3,050 for Autism

The Geneva Centre for Autism, which has been helping autistic children and their families since 1974, held their annual gala and art auction, The Autists, on May 17th at Koerner Hall, Telus Centre for Performance and Learning in Toronto.

Prior to the event, the center held an online silent auction which included a 2011 Les Paul Studio guitar donated by Gibson, signed by Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart at the Hamilton show last month.  Although not yet reflected on the website, the winning bid was $3,050.  For more information click here for Geneva's website (autism.net). - Thanks to John Carere for the headsup!
