Jon Pardi Spreads Holiday Cheer On His Christmas Tour By Donating $40,000 To Various Florida Charities
Giving back during the holiday season.
‘Tis the season to shower your loved ones with gifts, eat great meals, drink cocktails, and enjoy the company of friends and family. Each holiday season consists of creating precious memories with those you love.
But for some, the holiday season does not look like that. The season might look like picking up extra shifts to make sure food is on the table, missing out on these cherishable moments with family and friends, or spending the holidays alone because you don’t have family nearby. It’s a season of very high highs for some and low lows for others.
Every holiday season, it’s always incredible to see those who are very fortunate give back to the community in order to help ease some of the burdens that come with the holidays. Over Thanksgiving, we saw artists like Tracy Lawrence, Jelly Roll, Bunnie Xo, and Post Malone give back to their communities. And that giving spirit is being carried into the Christmas season as well.
Most recently, Jon Pardi gave a generous charitable contribution while out on his Christmas tour. Jon Pardi is halfway through his Christmas tour in Florida, performing a long list of holiday tunes like “Please Come Home for Christmas,” “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Beer for Santa,” “Merry Christmas from the Keys,” and “400 Horsepower Sleigh” alongside all of the other hits from his catalog.

In honor of the holiday season, spreading cheer offstage, Pardi has donated $40,000 to support local charities in each city he visited: St. Augustine Youth Services and St. Augustine Art Association, Little Smiles located in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, and A Kids Place of Tampa Bay. Pardi donated this money via his established Starlight Fund.
The Starlight Fund is “dedicated to supporting general youth enrichment, especially in trade, agriculture, and construction.” Jon and Summer Pardi hope to empower and enrich the next generation, creating a strong workforce of members that make meaningful contributions to their respective communities. Founded in 2024, the Startlight Fund’s mission is to “provide resources and opportunities to organizations supporting those in need, with a focus on those pursuing hands-on skills and education in these important fields.”
Jon Pardi is spreading holiday cheer on and off the stage, and this generous donation does not go unnoticed.
Seeing celebrities and other public figures giving back is also a reminder of all the reasons for the season. Whether it’s donating a few dollars to the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign or participating in the Angel Tree program, there are countless ways to give back to others this holiday season.
