Jelly Roll Gives Children $700 After Stopping By Their Lemonade Stand In Utah

Important to stay hydrated out on the road.
Jelly Roll already has a reputation for being one of the nicest and most generous guys in country music. I’ve personally only had a short conversation with him, but based on that I would say that everything you hear about him is 100% true: He’s just a good, down-to-earth dude.
Not only has the rapper-turned-country star spent his time and money helping out incarcerated youths after spending much of his young life behind bars, but it seems like he’s always looking for ways to give back to others, whether it’s offering to help a fan with tuition or organizing the largest toy drive in Nashville history.
Or buying lemonade from an entrepreneurial group of kids.
Jelly is in Salt Lake City tonight for a stop on his Beautifully Broken tour. And ahead of the show, it seems like he was out and about in the community when he ran into some children running a lemonade stand on the side of the road.
According to a Facebook post from Wendy Gardunio, the mother of one of the kids, her daughter wanted to set up the stand with her cousins. But they probably weren’t expecting one of their customers to be one of the biggest country artists in the world.
And true to his reputation, it sounds like Jelly Roll was eager to help out, giving them $700 during his visit.
“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. 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.”
It’s always good to see artists who are so humble and generous once they hit it big. But at this point, you wouldn’t expect anything less from Jelly Roll.
