CHIME FOR CHANGE and Global Citizen will have their online activation program for fans in select tour markets, including Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and . In addition, there are three signature charity events in three cities; Houston, TX, Compton, CA and Detroit, Michigan.

There are three simple ways fans can participate in helping others along The Formation World Tour: online, in- community and on-site.

(2) In Community - United Way to support issues specific to each local tour market. (3) On-site – by signing up to become a Global Citizen, along with CHIME FOR CHANGE, fans will have a chance to win tickets and upgrades at select tour dates.
