This is the kind of giving back we like.

Bruno Mars is donating $1 million from his Aug. 12 concert in Auburn Hills, Mich., to help those who have been affected by the Flint water crisis. Mars made the announcement onstage during his sold-out show. 

Flint, located just north of Detroit, has experienced serious water-related issues for nearly a decade.

"Tonight, I want to do something special. Tonight, I want to donate $1 million to our brothers and sisters in Flint, Michigan," said Mars, whose 24K Magic World U.S. tour is scheduled to run through November. 

"Ongoing challenges remain years later for Flint residents, and it's important that we don't forget our brothers and sisters affected by this disaster," he added in a statement.

Mars, along with Live Nation, will allocate the funds from the Auburn Hills show to The Community Foundation of Greater Flint, an organization dedicated to "building a strong community by engaging people in philanthropy."

Whether it's philanthropy or music education support, the GRAMMY winner is all about stepping up for a worthy cause. In 2014 he established a scholarship fund for GRAMMY Camp to cover the tuition of one qualified high school student each year over a five-year period.
