GRAMMY-nominated rock heroes Fall Out Boy have some heroes of their own. The band announced a $100k donation to Chicago Community COVID-19 Response Fund in support of their hometown heroes working to fight Coronavirus in the city's most vulnerable neighborhoods.
“Chicago is the city that we grew up in," Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz said. "It’s important to us that we give back and support the community and local heroes who are on the front lines any way we can."
The fund is a partnership between the City of Chicago and United Way of Metro Chicago working to support local organizations serving the city's most vulnerable neighborhoods during the Coronavirus crisis.
"No act of kindness is too small right now," Wentz said. "Check in with the people you love. Support the businesses you love if you can. Stay vigilant and hopeful. Everyone is affected by this, and we win by coming together and thinking of the world as bigger of ourselves.”
