Morgan Wallen Foundation To Help Revitalize Jefferson City, TN Little League Fields

/by

The Morgan Wallen Foundation has made a $100,000 donation to the Jefferson City, Tennessee community, where Wallen’s little league team would often play All-Star games, to improve and renovate two local baseball fields.

The renovations will include new infields, bases, dugouts, press boxes, backstop padding, fencing and more, with $80,000 going toward the Roy Harmon Field via the City Parks Department and $20,000 toward the New Market Field via Jefferson City Little League. The donation is reflective of the impact the area left on Wallen, who references Jefferson City in his quadruple Platinum No. 1 hit “Thought You Should Know.”

With more than 20 years passing since the field last saw updates, the improvements will impact approximately 300 kids, enabling them to play ball once again in their local community. Due to the fields’ conditions, they have been used as practice fields only for the past seven years, forcing kids to travel five miles down the road to New Market for all games.

“Local little league is a pillar of the community – it creates a foundation for families to come together and enjoy an American pastime while teaching our youth skills that go beyond baseball,” shares Robbie Britt, Jefferson City Little League President. “We’d like to thank Morgan Wallen Foundation for all of their support.”

“Jefferson City is pleased to be a recipient of funding from the Morgan Wallen Foundation. This engagement is not only a financial donation, but an investment in the future health of our City,” adds Mitch Cain, Mayor of Jefferson City. “This resource allows us to install much needed improvements in our recreational facilities. These investments will benefit our kids, their families and this community for years to come.”
