Jelly Roll Raises Money For At-Risk Youth

October 23, 2023 8:45 am Published by

Jelly Roll managed to raise nearly $600,000 for at-risk youth through his partnership with Live Nation on the Backroad Baptism Tour.

The “Need a Favor” singer wrote on Instagram…

“Live Nation and us also agreed to give ONE DOLLAR a ticket to charity raised another 590k for local at risk youth. I never even dreamed this would be possible . My gratitude is at all time high.”

In addition to performing his first amphitheatre and arena tour, Jelly shared that he also managed to visit over 10 jails for juveniles, four rehabs and a few homeless shelters.

Jelly’s next charitable effort is a toy drive that starts Friday, October 20th in Nashville.

He posted on social media,

“I’m excited to announce I’m partnering with Hasbro, Coca-Cola, iHeart, and Metro Nashville for the biggest toy drive in Nashville history. It kicks off tomorrow at 3pm at the Franklin, TN Walmart (3600 Mallory Lane) Buy a toy from this Walmart store and donate it.”

The first 500 people to donate will get VIP access to see the artist perform live at Walmart.

Meanwhile, a guy in Alabama named Griff Amos dressed up as Jelly Roll for an early Halloween party, and his friend posted side-by-side shots of him online.

If you saw him on the street, you might think he was the real deal. It helps that he kind of looks like Jelly Roll anyway.

It was good enough to earn a retweet from Jelly himself.
