In July 2006, the band recorded with a school choir in [[Soweto]], South Africa to create "[[Great Divide (song)|Great Divide]]", which was released in the UK and U.S. through [[iTunes]] in December 2006. All proceeds from the song were directed toward research and prevention of [[AIDS]] in Africa.<ref name="aids">{{cite press release| title = Hanson to release internet exclusive track for World AIDS Day| publisher = Hanson.net| date = 2006-11-28| url = http://www.worldaidsday.org/events_details.asp?event_id=103| access-date = 2007-03-04| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070927222423/http://www.worldaidsday.org/events_details.asp?event_id=103| archive-date = 2007-09-27}}</ref>

On September 10, 2007, Hanson began "The Walk Tour" in Nashville. During the tour, Hanson continued their work against poverty and AIDS in Africa, partnering with an American company, [[TOMS Shoes]]. As part of TOMS' "Shoe Drop", for every pair of shoes sold, the company donated another pair for a child in Africa.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://hanson.net/news/hanson-the-walk-tour-video |title=Hanson The Walk Tour Video |date=January 11, 2008 |publisher=Hanson |access-date=July 22, 2022}}</ref>
