Folks sometimes joke that K-OS spends too much time hanging out with the kids, but now he's taking things to a whole new level.

K-OS will return to the toy department of The Bay's Queen Street store in Toronto, where he worked during his youth to do one more shift there for a good cause.

The Toronto rapper will work there as part of the A Dare To Remember project that's been started by the Stephen Lewis Foundation. The project encourages Canadians to do something special and raise money for AIDS research in Africa while doing it.

"My dare will take me back to my youth," he says. "I like the fact that people can use their imagination and choose a dare that is relevant to them and then collect pledges to help raise funds for African communities.

"I hope that my dare inspires others to take action, as I am a firm believer that when united for a single cause we can all make a difference."

K-OS aims to raise $3,000 while completing his dare, and you can help him reach that goal here.
