Jelly Roll Gives Nearly $700 to Kids at Lemonade Stand in Utah Ahead of Beautifully Broken Tour Kickoff

Some kids selling lemonade got a special surprise over the weekend!

On Sunday, Aug. 25, Jelly Roll made a generous donation of nearly $700 to a group of children running a lemonade stand in in West Valley City, Utah.

The 39-year-old "Save Me" singer's appearance came before he launched his Beautifully Broken Tour at the Delta Center in nearby Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Aug. 27.

Wendy Gardunio — one of the kids' moms — revealed Jelly (whose real name is Jason DeFord) had stopped by in a Facebook post, sharing multiple snaps of the country crooner posing with the children, as well as posting a snap of the money he'd given them.

"So today was an interesting day, my kid and her cousins wanted to do a lemonade stand. And they had a famous singer come and buy some lemonade," Gardunio captioned the post. 

"Who would have thought that we would run into Jelly Roll in West Valley. And for him to be so generous with giving them almost $700," Gardunio added.

Jelly regularly gives back. He recently announced all net profits from each pre-order of his upcoming album Beautifully Broken from his U.S. web store will go to organizations helping those who struggle with mental health issues and addiction.

On Friday, Aug. 23, the country star revealed the follow-up to his 2023 album Whitsitt Chapel is set to be released on Oct. 11.

Jelly's upcoming 10th studio album will feature singles like “I Am Not Okay” and “Liar,” as well as the rousing “Get By," which was recently selected by ESPN to be the 2024 College Football Season anthem.

He's spoken openly about the intention he sets when releasing music, recently telling The New York Times Magazine, “I’m looking for songs that have a purpose."

"When I go to put out a song under the name Jelly Roll, I think to myself, Why?" he continued.

Jelly went on, "Because for the first time in my life, it has nothing to do with a financial decision. I’m well past putting out anything for money. So, now, it really is a why."

Earlier this month, PEOPLE also reported that Jelly was giving back to his community by helping to fund Nashville’s new Youth Campus for Empowerment.

The musician is from nearby Antioch, Tenn., and was incarcerated in the city's old facility, Davidson County Juvenile Justice Center, several times during his youth.

"Make these kids feel loved and give them a chance in life. A lot of these kids are victims of their circumstances. This is a really great chance to change things," he said, per local Fox affiliate WZTV.
