As many are aware, a pair of devastating earthquakes hit Venezuela last week, killing hundreds and inflicting untold damage to the country and its people. FANTOONS creator David Calcano is from Venezuela, and - with the full cooperation of Rush - has created a new limited-edition Rush t-shirt in order to support the Venezuela earthquake relief fund via the Hogar Bambi Foundation. From the announcement:

In June 2026, the ground broke open beneath Venezuela. Two earthquakes, one after the other, took thousands of lives and left countless families with nothing but the dust of where their homes once stood. David Calcano - a Venezuelan director whose studio, Fantoons, has worked with Rush for more than ten years - reached out to the band in the rawest hour, asking for help. The band answered the way they always have: without hesitation, with open hands and open hearts, collaborating on this one-of-a-kind shirt that will change lives.
All profits go directly to Hogar Bambi, which since 1996 has sheltered Venezuela's orphaned and abandoned children - and is now racing to care for the youngest victims of this disaster, turning every dollar into food, medicine, and shelter. ...

The t-shirts cost $40 and can be purchased online at this location, or you can donate to the Hogar Bambi Foundation directly.
