RushCamp! was born out of RatCon, the largest independent yearly gathering of Rush fans in the United States. Between 2009 and 2015, RatCon was held at private residences and over time the event grew from 20 to 40 to 80 to 100 fantastic fans and friends. Overtime Angels was launched at RatCon 2014 to help individuals in need that might not be able to receive help from large charitable organizations. RushCamp! allows the accessibility of the event to be increased to include even more like-minded, fun rocking Rush fans who also like to give back in a small way.

"As an original attendee of RatCon in 2009 and each epic event since, on behalf of Overtime Angels, I feel fortunate and blessed to be able to offer an upsized event that allows us to raise much needed financial assistance for some people truly in need while we celebrate the music of Rush with some fantastic musicians and wonderful fans and friends." said founder & president Michael Rosenthal. "Rush has always set an example of giving back with generosity and mindfulness and as fans this is one way we can honor all the priceless memories that Geddy, Alex, Neil and their crew have provided all of us."

* A portion of this ticket price will be tax deductible (estimated at least $25 per ticket). Overtime Angels will provide a specific disclosure with Fair Market Value to each purchaser after the event. You should consult your tax advisor regarding value determination for tax purposes.
