Last month, New York radio station Power 105.1 (WWPR) announced Chris Brown would be headlining its Powerhouse concert this year, marking his first major promotional event since his February 8 altercation with ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Now, Jive Records -- the label Brown is signed to -- has revealed that he will additionally be performing during a 19-city "Fan Appreciation" tour.
The trek begins at the House of Blues in Houston, Texas on Nov. 14 and makes stops in Los Angeles, Atlanta and Brown's hometown of Richmond, Virginia, before ending on Dec. 13 in Philadelphia, Pa.
A portion of the proceeds from the tour will be donated to Best Buddies
International, a non-profit organization devoted to providing friendships, jobs and leadership opportunities for people with
intellectual and developmental disabilities. Brown hopes to encourage
his fans to volunteer their time to the foundation and work with those
in their communities with similar growth problems.
The Jenesse Center, a non-profit that provides culturally sensitive
services to strengthen families and is based in Los Angeles, will also
receive a portion of the proceeds
