Organizers of Hopeless Records' Take Action! tour have announced dates and venues for the event's 2009 edition, which will feature headliners Cute Is What We Aim For.

The outing, which also includes Meg & Dia, Breathe Carolina, Every Avenue and Anarbor, gets underway Feb. 11 in Sauget, IL, and continues through early April, with the trek expected to hit 40 cities along the way. Dates are below.

Tickets, which go on public sale Dec. 20, are currently available through an Internet-only presale. Consult the tour's official website for complete ticketing information.

The traveling festival, now in its eighth year, raises funds and public awareness for youth involvement in charitable action, according to a press release, and organizers have chosen non-profit group DoSomething.org for the second year in a row to benefit from the tour's proceeds.

"Music has always moved generations," DoSomething.org CEO Nancy Lublin said in a statement. "We're psyched to partner with Take Action! We believe that there is a lot of creativity and passion in generation Z (kids under age 25). Their idea of getting involved isn't writing a big check or attending a charity dinner--they actually do stuff."

Earlier Take Action lineups have included Every Time I Die, Avenged Sevenfold, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Jimmy Eat World, Thrice, Chiodos, Silverstein, Poison The Well, Sugarcult, Matchbook Romance and The Early November, among many other acts.

Buffalo, NY, natives Cute Is What We Aim For are supporting their second studio release, "Rotation," which dropped into stores in June. The set, which follows the band's 2006 debut, "The Same Old Blood Rush with a New Touch," debuted at No. 21 on The Billboard 200 chart, moving 22,000 copies in its initial sales week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
