Jack White just donated thirty-thousand dollars to help restore the house from 1983’s The Outsiders.
The film, starring Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, C. Thomas Howel, and Emilio Estevez was shot in Tulsa, Oklahoma and is currently owned by House of Pain member Danny O’Connor.

The “Jump Around” rapper has been turning around the house to convert it into a museum to honor the seminal film. It took one visit for White to offer proceeds from his ONEOK Field show in Tulsa to support fundraising efforts.
Jack White will be touring overseas in October.
