What’s with all the walking? Fans who join the bands in walking a mile or more on the day of the show will help fight poverty and AIDS in Africa.

TOMS Shoes also has its paws on the cause. For each pair purchased, the company will donate a new pair to a child in need.

The tour, which also features Steel Train and Sherwood, kicks off in Hanson’s hometown of Tulsa, Okla., at Cain’s Ballroom on Sept. 30. Oct. 1 finds the tour in St. Louis at The Pageant; Oct. 2 is Kansas City at the Beaumont and Oct. 3 puts everybody in Minneapolis for a gig at First Avenue.
