Jason Aldean is returning to his hometown of Macon, Georgia, to help out area kids in need with a second Concert For The Kids on Friday, Au. 11. Last year’s stripped-down concert performance raised more than half a million dollars for local children, and Aldean is expanding the show this year to the Macon Coliseum.
Proceeds from the special concert will once again benefit the Children’s Hospital, Navicent Health, which serves as Bibb County’s only dedicated pediatric facility in central Georgia.
“Supporting these kids in Macon and their families is something that I’m really proud to be a part of,” said Aldean. “We’re looking forward to getting back to town, kicking things up a couple notches and hopefully raise a huge amount of money for the hospital so that they can continue to grow and serve my hometown community.”
“We are thrilled and so very appreciative that Jason made the time to take a detour from his They Don’t Know Tour to visit Macon for the benefit of our patients at Children’s Hospital, Navicent Health,” added Ellen Terrell, Chief Development Officer for Navicent Health Foundation. “Our young patients and their families are grateful for Jason’s continued commitment to their healing and care. Children’s Hospital, Navicent Health has always relied on philanthropic support, and we are grateful to each of our donors for their commitment to Georgia’s most fragile children.”
Tickets go on sale to the public beginning this Friday (6/23) on JasonAldean.com, Ticketmaster.com and at the venue box office.
