Ronnie Gilley offered a generous gift to graduating seniors from his hometown of Wiregrass, Ala. Gilley, the creator of BamaJam, is purchasing a three-day-pass to BamaJam meant as a reward to graduates of Wiregrass.   
 
The generous gift is not the only donation Gilley is making to his local community. Some of the proceeds generated by BamaJam will go to charities that are seeking to restore the local Enterprise High School that was destroyed in a tornado. 
 
Gilley addressed his actions by expressing his vision of what BamaJam embodies, “BamaJam is not just about music. It’s about people and community and togetherness. I am blessed to live in such a great part of the world, and it is an honor to give back in every way I can.”
 
The senior class president from Enterprise High School, Amanda Pfluke, also expressed gratitude towards Gilley for his generosity.
 
“We are all excited about the tickets and are very thankful to Mr. Gilley for thinking of us. We can’t wait for BamaJam,” said Pfluke.
