By Aaron Brophy

After years of giving back, Canadian rock band Billy Talent has launched a charitable trust. The band, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, if you include their previous incarnation Pezz, announced the appropriately titled Billy Talent Charity Trust (BTCT) as a means to give back to various organizations they support, starting with a campaign to aid the MS Society of Canada.

The band — frontman Ben Kowalewicz, drummer Aaron Solowoniuk, guitarist Ian D’Sa, bassist Jonathan Gallant and drummer Jordan Hastings (who joined when Solonowiuk's multiple sclerosis preventing him from touring) — have teamed up with Funding Innovation to create Billy Talent Plaques, special, limited edition gold record plaques that include a live photo of the band, artwork of the band's various singles, as well as autographs from all the members. The framed awards will retail for $299 and are only available for two weeks. Proceeds will go towards the MS Society of Canada.
