Macon, Ga., native Jason Aldean returned to his hometown on Sept. 6 to headline his third annual Concert for the Kids.

Jason performed at the Macon Coliseum to benefit the city’s new Beverly Knight Olson Children’s Hospital. Over the past two events, Jason has helped raise more than $1.2 million for the construction of the region’s only dedicated pediatric hospital.

This year’s concert raised $621,390, bringing the grand total to more than $1.8 million over the past three years.

“There are a lot of reasons I love doing what I do, but being able to give back to these kids and their families is definitely really important to me,” said Jason. “We’ve been able to help support the build of an entirely new facility.”
