    Kid Rocks Made In Detroit Clothing Line To Fund College Scholarships

    Detroit, MI (CNS) - Musician Kid Rock is using his Made in Detroit apparel line for a good cause, working with Wayne State University to help start a college Kid Rock Scholarship fund for area music students.

    Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, is from the Detroit area and the 37-year-old rock-rapper bought the clothing company about two years ago.
    Celebrity News Service has learned that the Detroit company will create 2,500 limited edition T-shirts bearing the schools name and the Made in Detroit logo, which features a factory worker, carrying a large wrench, in silhouette.

    The Kid Rock Scholarship will be available to students studying the business and performance sides of music. Wayne State hopes to initially raise $25,000 from the sale of the shirts. The T-shirts will be sold at the schools campus bookstore.

This is fantastic... I live in the outside of detroit and I am a HUGE fan of Kid Rock... I am always hoping that I would run in to him in the Clem or in the "D"....I have the most respect for Bob as a musician and person..I think it is wonderful that he keeps it were he is from ...He always stays true to his home town.. Much love and respect...

That is freaking fantastic. Wow. I don't live in Detroit but would love to purchase one of those tees, to add to my MID collection. Good for you Bob Ritchie. I don't know you, maybe someday we will cross paths, but I believe you are a great man and one fabulous individual.. There is no other like you. Much love and respect.

NOW, that's hot! God Bless the Ritchie family! Bobbiejean Chlt NC
