Over $68,000 in Proceeds Raised in honor of Neil Peart by Tech 21 and Geddy Lee!

Geddy Lee and Tech 21 teamed up to honor Neil Peart. Geddy personally autographed 200 of his Tech 21 MP40 Signature SansAmps, which sold out in just 6 days on Reverb. Proceeds from the sales were split between two worthy causes:

• Cedars-Sinai for Glioblastoma Research in Memory of Neil Peart 

After being diagnosed with glioblastoma, Neil Peart was given mere months to live. With their exemplary expertise, care and support, Cedars-Sinai, Los Angeles, turned those months into years.

• The Neil Peart Memorial at Lakeside Park

Raised in St. Catharines, Ontario, Neil never forgot his hometown, memorializing the summers of his youth spent in Port Dalhousie with the song “Lakeside Park.” In 2020, St. Catharines City Council voted to honour and mark his contributions by naming their newly rebuilt structure the Neil Peart Pavilion at Lakeside Park. A larger memorial featuring bronze sculptures of Peart in his younger and later years, connected by a pathway with interpretive panels, is currently being developed at the park, with fundraising efforts underway to complete the art installation.

The Mission Continues

According to Dale Krevens, VP of Tech 21, “We are overjoyed the MP40s sold out so quickly and we were able to share proceeds with such notable charities to honor the memory of Neil Peart, Geddy’s long-time friend and bandmate. But we don’t want to stop here. We’re asking everyone to join us and Geddy in our mission by generously donating directly to these charities.”
