The Solar Federation!

Below is an ever-growing list of notable personalities who have either had a professional/personal relationship with Neild Peart or Rush or who (through their activities or interviews) have indicated that they appreciated him or the band.  This list, which we will call "The Solar Federation" will be used to help spread the word about The Sunlight and Chrome initiative and associated Brain Cancer Fundraisers in Neil Peart's honor.   Our hope is that this list will help to expand the SoC universe.  Please feel free to pull handles out of this list and spread the word about SoC to those personalities that you think would appreciate being updated!  If you think we should add a name to this list or if you notice an error (particularly in @Twitter handle), please contact us (send e-mail).

​

Below is a template of a twitter post you might want to use if you decide to tag one of these personalities in a post.

​

"@xxxxx, Neil Peart lost his battle w/brain cancer in Jan. '20.  Because of your previous relationship w/him & Rush, we thought you might be interested in the Sunlight on Chrome initiative @sunlightonchrme that w/abta.org coordinates $fundraisers in his honor."
