Kid Rock will take the stage for the 2010 United Way Thanksgiving Halftime Show, during the first game of the NFL’s tripleheader, when the Detroit Lions host the New England Patriots on Thursday, November 25 at 12:30 PM ET on CBS.
This special halftime event will feature a live performance of Kid Rock’s new song and album title track, “Born Free,” released just this week.

The 2010 United Way Thanksgiving Halftime Show, highlighted by Kid Rock’s performance, aims to inspire viewers to LIVE UNITED®, United Way’s call to the public to get involved in the community by focusing on the building blocks of life: education, income and health.
