After recording the song 'Great Divide' in Africa and donating proceeds to AIDS relief in the region, Hanson is stepping up efforts for further aid for the region by teaming with Toms Shoes and selling the shoes at their gigs.
For every pair of shoes purchased at a Hanson gig, Toms is donating a pair to a child in need in Africa.Fans will also be invited take part in a one-mile walk the day during each stop on the tour.
In a statement, Taylor Hanson said, "We want to inspire others to look for simple, tangible and fun ways to make a difference. It is easy to be halted by the great hurdles of poverty and AIDS, but making an impact can begin as simply as giving someone a pair of shoes or buying a song."
