Morgan Wallen is proving he is a true blue southern gentleman by donating 1.2 million dollars to his alma mater to upgrade an old baseball field.

A NEW CHAPTER FOR GIBBS HIGH SCHOOL.
Morgan Wallen Announces Baseball Field Donation
The donation is currently awaiting state approval. Once cleared, it will be converted into a state of the art, multisports field where students can explore their athletic pursuits to the fullest.
Gibbs High School in Corryton plans to name the field the “Morgan Wallen Field” in honor of their famous graduate. This cause is incredibly close to his heart as he graduated from the school in 2011 and was a dedicated member of the baseball team himself.
But here is the real deal…
The public school system is in dire straits as districts face budget cuts every year. With overworked teachers and students who desperately need healthy outlets like sports, this is a major step in the right direction.
This is not the only time he has shown his philanthropic side. In an unprecedented move, Morgan gives three dollars from every concert ticket sold to charity.
But it goes even deeper than that…
