Morgan Wallen Foundation donated to schools in need across 14 US stadium-touring cities
For the past two years, Morgan Wallen has donated three dollars from every U.S. ticket sold on his 87-show One Night At A Time World Tour to his non-profit, Morgan Wallen Foundation (MWF). Supporting programs for youth in the areas of music and sports, MWF further expanded its local impact during the U.S. tour’s 2024 leg with their One Instrument At A Time initiative, in partnership with Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation (MHOF).
MWF committed to donating musical instruments to schools in need across 14 stadium-touring cities Wallen visited this year on his One Night At A Time Tour, including Arlington, Texas; Charlotte, N.C.; Denver.; East Rutherford, N.J.; Hershey, PA.; Indianapolis, IN; Kansas City; Las Vegas; Minneapolis; Nashville; Oxford, MI; Philadelphia; Tampa; and Virginia Beach, VA. In total, the value of the instrument donations is $500,000.
“When I was a kid, access to music profoundly changed my life and gave me a sense of purpose. I want that for others, and I’m blessed to be able to provide instruments to these schools through my foundation,” shares Wallen. “We really wanted to say a big thank you to these awesome communities that welcome us in and let us play for our fans.”
With a core belief that all children deserve a chance to thrive, play, and create through sports and music, the MWF supports programs for youth in these two areas – sports and music. It’s this mission that made the partnership with Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to changing the lives of kids by giving them access to learn and play music in school via the donations of high-quality musical instruments, a natural fit.
Last month, MWF donated $500,000 to the American Red Cross to aid with efforts following the devastation of Hurricane Helene and $140,000 to Gibbs Youth Sports to coincide with Wallen’s record-breaking homecoming double-header at the University of Tennessee Knoxville’s Neyland Stadium. In 2023, Wallen’s foundation focused heavily on revitalizing baseball parks in touring cities, with donations to Chicago Cubs Charities, Atlanta Braves Foundation, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville and Boston Red Sox Foundation.
