Jack Johnson has pledged up to $70,000 to support Gulf Oil Spill recovery efforts.

The donation will be made via his charity, the Johnson Ohana Charitable Foundation and will consist of $30,000 of direct donations and $40,000 in matching grants.

The charity will donate up to $2,500 to a hefty list of charities who are partners with All At Once, including Gulf Waterkeepers, Gulf Restoration Network, Louisiana Bucket Brigade, Ocean Conservancy, National Wildlife Foundation, Surfrider Foundation, Galveston Bay Foundation and Tampa Bay Watch.

To get it up to $2,500, fans just have to donate at one of his upcoming shows on his 'To The Sea' tour.

The Johnson Ohana Charitable Foundation was established using 100% of profits from Johnson's 2008 tour to support environmental, art and music education.

For more information on how you can help visit All At Once.

He is about to head out on the road on his 'To The Sea' tour across the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Check him out (and donate) at:
