Giving may be a part of Chesney’s character, but boasting about it certainly is not, and he chose to remain quiet about his generous gift.
Kenny Chesney has a strong bond with the folks in Boston and Foxborough, Mass. So much so that he intentionally makes room to play Gillette Stadium during his tours, often closing out his trek at the football stadium. So it makes sense that when he set out to help those in need, he thought of the places near and dear to his heart.
The country superstar wrapped his successful Sun Goes Down Tour up late last month, capping off his run with a record-breaking string of back-to-back shows at Gillette Stadium. On the Friday before his three-night stint, he partnered with his charitable foundation to make a series of donations that will now allow a handful of non-profit organizations to make a greater impact on their communities.
Quietly Donates Over $1 Million To Massachusetts-Based Organizations
Giving may be a part of Chesney’s character, but boasting about it certainly is not, and he chose to remain quiet about his generous gift. And while he said very little about his offering, what he gave was big. In fact, according to MassLive.com, Chesney’s donation, spread across various organizations in Massachusetts, totaled more than $1 Million.
“Kenny loves the people of who’ve been such a part of the Gillette experience over all these years,” a spokesperson for Chesney told MassLive. “As someone who likes to quietly give back to enrich others’ lives, this is his way of spreading the love and saying thank you for everything that’s made all these stadium shows so special. To him, it’s a gift for others, not something he wants to talk about.”
