Jason Aldean officially wrapped his 2015 Burn It Down Tour over the weekend. The final concert took place on Oct. 24 at the Perfect Vodka Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, FL and marked his 10th Annual “Concert for the Cure.”

During the show, Aldean presented a check for over $615,000 to Susan G. Komen South Florida, raised from a portion of ticket sales from the tour.

“I know first-hand how important it is to find a cure for breast cancer,” said Aldean. “So, looking out from stage Saturday night at a sea of pink was a pretty cool way to end the tour. For ten years now the fans have been helping us support Komen and I know we’re going to keep it up until nobody has to fight the disease anymore.”

The Georgia native hosts breast cancer survivors at every tour stop, giving them the VIP treatment. “We have survivors come out to every show,” he explained. “They get there early and get to see the stages going up and just all the craziness that’s goes on around the show. Then we eat dinner together and they get a front-row seat. They get the red carpet laid out for them, and it’s been great.”

The show was the last stop on Aldean’s highly successful Burn It Down Tour, which sold out numerous stadiums, arenas and amphitheaters across the country. He won’t have much time to rest, however, as he’s already announced his We Were Here 2016 Tour, kicking off Jan. 14 in Moline, IL.
