  • Morgan Wallen plans to make a sizable donation to his old high school in Corryton, Tenn.
  • The $1.2 million donation, if approved, could create a “state-of-the-art multi-use athletic field” at Gibbs High School

Morgan Wallen is giving back to his old high school.

The country singer, 32, is set to donate $1.2 million toward upgrading the baseball field at Gibbs High School, which he attended more than a decade ago in Corryton, Tenn.

If approved by the Knox County Commission, the donation could transform the space into a “versatile, state-of-the-art multi-use athletic field,” according to commission documents viewed by PEOPLE.

Wallen was part of the Gibbs High School national championship team in 2010, per local outlet WATE, and he graduated from the school the following year. In 2025, the baseball field was renamed in his honor as the Morgan Wallen Field, per the outlet.

According to commission documents, Gibbs High School also intends to “build a softball hitting and pitching facility on the school’s campus.”

Wallen’s donation is set to be made through his foundation, which highlights and benefits sports and music programs for youth, as well as supporting communities in times of need. The Morgan Wallen Foundation receives three dollars from every concert ticket the artist sells, and the organization is primarily supported through Wallen’s own funding and consumer donations, per its site.

The country singer was born in the remote town of Sneedville, Tenn., where he was raised by parents Tommy and Lesli Wallen alongside siblings Ashlyne, Mikaela and Lacey. The family of six later moved about one hour away to Corryton, just outside of Knoxville.

Wallen recently began his Still the Problem Tour, which will make stops in Las Vegas, Denver, Chicago and more cities in the coming months.
