Morgan Wallen Donates $500,000 to Red Cross for Hurricane Helene Relief. Before performing his nostalgic song “‘98 Braves,” Morgan Wallen reflected on his high school days, admitting some things haven’t changed much. Despite his rise to fame, Wallen remains deeply connected to his roots.
Through the Morgan Wallen Foundation, he donated $500,000 to the American Red Cross to support communities devastated by Hurricane Helene, focusing on his home state of Tennessee. Trevor Riggin, Red Cross’ National President for Humanitarian Services, expressed gratitude for Wallen’s generous donation and his commitment to helping those affected.
Wallen, a graduate of Gibbs High School in Knox County, has a history of giving back, having donated $140,000 earlier this year to renovate a local park for youth sports programs. Though now based in Nashville, Wallen shared on Instagram that his family in East Tennessee is safe, but he acknowledged the heartbreak many others are experiencing across multiple states.
His foundation, established in 2021, is dedicated to supporting children through music and sports and extends its mission to disaster relief and community aid. The foundation is supported both by Wallen’s personal contributions and fan donations from concert ticket sales.
As severe flooding and destruction impact six states—from Florida’s Gulf Coast to Virginia’s Appalachian region—Wallen’s donation arrives at a critical time. He remains in close contact with his team and local officials, doing everything possible to assist relief efforts.
Wallen’s journey from East Tennessee ballfields to international stages serves as a powerful reminder: no matter how successful he becomes, he continues to support the community that shaped him.
