Cotter plans on utilizing his current national tour to raise awareness, funds, and donation items for the cause following the destructive hit it took on his home state, Alabama. “This is one thing I don’t want to look back on and say ‘I Meant To’,” Brad commented earlier today.

I’ve decided to go against my ingrained approach and ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothin’ attitude and I’ve decided I want to lead the way.” Brad is inviting all friends and fans to bring non-perishable items to his upcoming shows in addition to challenging them to get involved.
