    Kid Rock's Tour Raises Six-Figure Sum For Charity

    Kid Rock has raised more than $375,000 (£234,375) for charity while on the road.

    The rocker began his Care tour earlier this month (Nov11) and announced plans to donate proceeds from the live shows to needy organisations through his Kid Rock Foundation.

    He's halfway through the 12-date trek and Rock is already preparing to hand over the six-figure sum to local charities, thanks to a little extra help from business moguls in his native Detroit, Michigan.

    The Cowboy singer is due to wrap up the Care gigs in Boise, Idaho on 4 December (11), before paying tribute to outstanding individuals across the world by performing on upcoming U.S. TV special Cnn Heroes: An All-Star Tribute on 11 December (11).

I wonder when my check will arrive. (Gotta take advantage of my name sometimes!) Seriously, though, I am so proud to be a Kid Rock fan! Bobby has the biggest heart and truly cares for so many. Thanks to Kid Rock and TBT for putting your hearts and souls into your passion. It means a lot to your fans!

How can you not admire all he's doing to give back . . . it's just truly inspirational. Somehow I just can't imagine him ever being bored . . . but I'm blown away by the amazing generosity this man has. I know I'm not alone in thinking he's just setting an amazing example of what it means to care . . . ~J

Bob Ritchie - you are a generous man! Thank you & Twisted Brown Trucker for your current tour & your generosity to people in need. Saw you in Indy on Tuesday & Chi-town last night. Special thank you to Jason who still rocked even while battling the flu. Have seen you at many shows & the Indy show was right up there in the top 5! Then again, it was my birthday & hearing your music live is one fantastic birthday present. Thanks for spreading your good will -- hope we all follow your example!!! Rock on!!!!

The least thing I can do is “Care” One concern spreads. Speaks- Sincere- Spirit- Extends.

You are such a great person. I hope you and the family had a great Thanksgiving. Today our family is going to an army base in LA and pack up goodies for our troops. I look forward to the day when the war is over and out troops are home. Can't wait to see you on the 9th. I need a Kid Rock FIX!
