Aldean donates more than $1.1 million to a Georgia children’s hospital & hurricane victims
Jason Aldean wrapped his sold-out Highway Desperado Tour this weekend after playing over 80 dates across the US. The tour concluded with Aldean’s highly anticipated hometown show in Macon, Georgia at the new Macon Amphitheater on October 5th. In addition to Saturday’s Highway Desperado show, Aldean headlined a previously announced charity benefit, Concert For The Kids, which also took place in Macon and saw the proceeds go 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 continued lifesaving efforts, including the neonatal unit (NICU).
Following his Macon, GA Concert For the Kids show, Aldean took to the stage for the final night of his sold-out Highway Desperado Tour on Saturday and stopped the show to also recognize those impacted by Hurricane Helene. In addition to personally donating $500,000 to Samaritan’s Purse, an organization focused on Hurricane Relief efforts, Aldean 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.
The award-winning country star is set to open Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Bar this fall on the Las Vegas Strip in partnership with TC Restaurant Group. Aldean’s fourth venue will bring its signature combination of live music, Southern comfort food, and one-of-a-kind memorabilia to the West. The space will feature outdoor patios, private event areas, full-service dining, and DJ-driven nightlife all under one roof, promising a premier experience where guests can dine, enjoy world-class performances and dance the night away. The entertainment complex will be located at 63 CityCenter at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Harmon Avenue and span 22,500 square feet.
