HARDY is giving back, y’all! The country rocker, whose real name is Michael Hardy, and his wife, Caleigh Ryan Hardy, know they have been blessed in abundance from their careers to their personal lives. Now, they want to return the favor and are doing so with their newly-minted charity organization called The Hardy Fund.
The beloved country couple have partnered with the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee for The Hardy Fund, which was created to help support community programs throughout their home state of Mississippi and their residential state of Tennessee.
The loving couple recently took to social media to announce their new venture, captioning a video on Caleigh’s’ Instagram page, reading: “We’ve been so fortunate and especially in the light of the birth of our child, we’re excited to give back to our communities.”
HARDY and Caleigh, who began dating in 2018 and tied the knot in 2022, welcomed their first baby, a girl named Rosie Ryan, on March 7, 2025. Since then, they have shared plenty of photos online, showcasing how thrilled they’ve been to become parents to their sweet bundle of joy.
“We just feel like we’ve been so blessed,” HARDY says in the clip. “The last 10 years of our lives have just been nothing, but blessings, and blessings, and blessings, and it’s just time for us to give back.”
“This is long overdue, but this fund is very, very special to us because it gives us the ability to support whatever causes are super close to our hearts, such as the United States military, wildlife, children, education, music — whatever it may be, this gives us the opportunity to support.”
In addition to the announcement, thanks to his organization, which has teamed with Propeller, HARDY has set up a sweepstakes’ opportunity, giving his fans and listeners a chance to win a VIP trip to one of his shows in New Your City, plus a meet-and-greet. The sweepstakes is open now through Aug. 19.
In a separate post on his Instagram page, he says, “[The Hardy Fund] is a charity fund where we can donate money to whoever we want, whatever organization we want, whenever we want. It’s a really cool thing. If you support this, I’m giving you a chance to win tickets to my Madison Square Garden show in New York City, and a chance to meet me. I just wanted you all to know that The Hardy Fund is up and going. Get out and support. Thank y’all.”
In total, the prize winner will receive, two VIP tickets to HARDY’s September 24th show JIM BOB WORLD TOUR concert in Madison Square Garden, paid hotel and travel expenses, plus rideshare credit, a meet & greet with HARDY, access to the HARDY VIP Lounge, a specially-designed HARDY gift & laminate and a VIP-exclusive tour poster.
