The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) today announced RUSH — Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart — as the recipient of the 2015 Allan Waters Humanitarian Award, sponsored by Bell Media. The JUNO Award-winning and Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame trio exemplifies the spirit of the award through their music and devotion to philanthropy and humanitarian causes, both of which have touched millions of lives and spanned generations.
The Allan Waters Humanitarian Award recognizes outstanding Canadian artists whose contributions have positively enhanced the social fabric of Canada. Named after CHUM Ltd. founder Allan Waters, the award is made possible by funding from BCE-Bell Media Benefits. It will be presented to RUSH at the 2015 JUNO Gala Dinner & Awards on March 14, 2015 in Hamilton, Ontario.
