Jason Aldean gave back to his hometown of Macon, Georgia in a big way during the final stop of his sold-out “Highway Desperado Tour” over the weekend at the new Macon Amphitheater.
Aldean stopped mid-show to recognize those impacted by Hurricane Helene during the concert, and in addition to personally donating $500,000 to Samaritan’s Purse, (an organization focused on Hurricane Relief efforts,) he was also joined onstage by Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones to donate the total of GoFundMe relief effort donations to Samaritan’s Purse, totaling more than $6.5 million to the cause.
In addition to Saturday’s “Highway Desperado” show, Aldean also headlined a charity benefit, Concert For The Kids on Oct. 3 in Macon with proceeds going to the city’s Beverly Knight Olson Children’s Hospital. Longtime supporters of the hospital, the Aldean family raised and donated more than $618,000 at Thursday’s event to support the hospital’s continuing lifesaving efforts, including the neonatal unit (NICU).
Named after Aldean’s 11th studio album, the “Highway Desperado Tour” made over 80 stops across the country. He continues to dominate the charts, with 28 career No. 1 singles at country radio and his latest “Whiskey Drink” currently climbing the charts.
