The singer, prolific songwriter, and entertainer finished off his 24k Magic world tour in Hawaii but not without making an exciting announcement.

Bruno, who is from Honolulu, HI, will provide 24,000 Thanksgiving meals to Hawaiian families in need. His donations will go to the Hawaiian and Pacific Islands Division of the Salvation Army’s 48th annual Thanksgiving Dinner Program. According to a press release, Bruno’s donation is helping to expand the program’s “reach across the state.”

Major Jeff Martin, the divisional leader of the Salvation Army Hawaiian & Pacific Islands division, also spoke on Bruno’s contribution, saying, “We are humbled and honored by this generous donation from Hawaii’s own Bruno Mars. Bruno is a shining example of how people in Hawaii step forward and take care of one another and we are grateful to him for his aloha and kokua.”

The 24K Magic artist has previously talked about how being from Hawaii and performing there made an impact on his career. On Nov. 8, he posted an adorable throwback picture of himself with a special message to those attending one of his concerts in Hawaii. “Let’s have a good time tonight Hawaii!” he captioned the photo. “Most importantly, let’s show love and aloha to everyone driving down and attending the concert. I’ve missed you all and I can’t wait to perform and sing on the island I call home.”

Bruno might sing about being decked out in 24-karat gear from head to toe but using his platform to give back to the community that made such an impact on his career is the real golden opportunity.

The 31-year-old singer announced to a sold-out crowd at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Saturday, August 12, a personal donation of $1 million to the city of Flint.

Mars’ remarks — which were captured on film — were met with thunderous applause by the crowd.

The Flint water crisis began in 2014 when the city switched from the Detroit water system to the Flint River, which was improperly treated leading to high levels of lead.

Subsequently, thousands of people in the city were exposed to the contaminated water, leading to an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease which caused the deaths of 12 people.

“I’m very thankful to the Michigan audience for joining me in supporting this cause,” Mars said in a statement.

“Ongoing challenges remain years later for Flint residents, and it’s important that we don’t forget our brothers and sisters affected by this disaster. As people, especially as Americans, we need to stand together to make sure something like this never happens in any community ever again.”

Revenue generated from Saturday’s show will be redirected to the Community Foundation of Greater Flint.

“With a grateful heart, the Community Foundation of Greater Flint is honored to accept this inspiring donation,” President and CEO Isaiah M. Oliver said in a statement. “We know Bruno Mars’ $1 million gift will be transformative to the children and families of Flint. He understands the issues faced by Flint citizens, and we are touched by his concern and generosity.”
