Inspired by the release of a single by the same name, Carrie Underwood is all about “Change” since the release of her "Play On" album.
 
Last September, Underwood announced she would be donating 36 cents from every ticket sold for the fall leg of her wildly popular and successful Play On tour. The money generated would all go toward the Save the Children’s U.S. programs.
 
"Change" is built around the fact that every penny adds up, and each little bit can leave a huge impact, making a different to help ‘change’ the world.
 
On Feb. 23, Underwood presented March Shriver, Senior Vice President of the U.S. Programs for Save the Children, with a check for $140,125.68, collected from Underwood’s tickets sold from September to December 2010.
 
Underwood played 108 different shows during the 2010 Play On tour, for over 1 million fans throughout the U.S. and Canada.
