Pull out your old Kid Rock merch ?cause the Detroit rocker has announced an upcoming club tour through 10 cities, pledging to donate to worthy causes at each locality. �In sync with the release of his song ?Care? with Martina McBride and T.I., both song and tour are meant to urge Americans to help others in need. �The ?American Badass? has long been known for lending a helping hand to his hometown, now it?s even more awesome to see him do the same for other cities across the country.

According to MTV, his official statement regarding the tour is:

?The song says ?the least that I can do is care? ? and I want to put my money where my mouth is. Everyone knows that Detroit is hurting,? he said in the statement announcing the tour. ?But I want to show that even though we don?t have a lot on our own plate, it doesn?t mean the people of my hometown don?t have compassion to share with others all over the country. At the end of the day we?re all Detroit, we?re one country, one family.?

Further, radio stations will be determining the worthy causes in their respective local markets that�?this group of Detroit business leaders, Rock and company have pledged to donate money to local charities, causes and individuals through the Kid Rock Foundation at every stop.?
