\u00a0For the past two years, Morgan Wallen has donated three dollars from every U.S. ticket sold on his 87-show\u00a0One Night At A Time World Tour\u00a0<\/em>to his non-profit,\u00a0Morgan Wallen Foundation<\/a>\u00a0(MWF). Supporting programs for youth in the areas of music and sports, MWF further expanded their local impact during the U.S. tour\u2019s 2024 leg with their \u201cOne Instrument At A Time\u201d initiative, in partnership with Mr. Holland\u2019s Opus Foundation (MHOF).\u00a0

“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,\u201d shares Wallen. \u201cWe really wanted to say a big thank you to these awesome communities that welcome us in and let us play for our fans.\u201d\u00a0
\u00a0
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 \u2013 sports and music. It\u2019s this mission that made the partnership with Mr. Holland\u2019s 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.

“Giving back is an integral part of who Morgan is and how he was raised. So launching \u2018One Instrument At A Time\u2019 in conjunction with this tour was incredibly important,\u201d adds Kathleen Flaherty, executive director of the Morgan Wallen Foundation. \u201cPartnering with Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation enabled us to utilize their expertise in securing quality instruments and identifying schools in local communities that need them the most. In turn, we hope to impact the lives of kids by giving them access to learn and play music, which is what set the stage for Morgan\u2019s life.\u201d
\u00a0
“Music education plays a crucial role in shaping the development of young minds, nurturing their artistic expression, and instilling a lifelong passion for music. We are grateful to the Morgan Wallen Foundation for their dedication to enhancing music education in our schools,\u201d shares Tricia Williams, President and CEO at Mr. Holland\u2019s Opus Foundation. \u201cTheir generosity will make a profound difference in the lives of students, empowering them to unleash their potential and pursue their dreams.\u201d
