Megan Thee Stallion’s inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala marked a significant milestone for the Houston rapper’s philanthropic mission, raising over $1.2 million to support key initiatives in education, housing, wellness, and community development. The event, held in New York City, attracted a high-profile crowd and showcased the foundation’s commitment to uplifting underserved communities.
Megan expressed gratitude for the overwhelming generosity displayed at the gala, highlighting the enthusiasm of guests and supporters who contributed to the record fundraising total. Notable attendees included Klay Thompson—who made his red carpet debut as Megan’s partner—alongside celebrities like Lil Uzi Vert, Fat Joe, Angie Martinez, fashion designer LaQuan Smith, and activist Tamika Mallory.
Guests enjoyed live performances from artists such as Muni Long and DJ D-Nice, with host Taraji P. Henson guiding the evening’s events. The auction featured exclusive experiences and items, including a private mixology class by Megan’s Chicas Divertidas, a live performance by Megan herself, custom jewelry from Elliot Eliantte, and coveted tickets to Super Bowl LX.
The Pete & Thomas Foundation, named in honor of Megan’s late parents, continues to expand its reach. Last year alone, it supported over 8,600 individuals—including students, parents, and senior citizens—through programs focused on emergency support, wellness, and community engagement. Megan underscored the importance of her organization’s work in collaboration with over 100 community partners, volunteers, and donors.
During the evening, Megan and Klay Thompson’s red carpet debut generated buzz, with the rapper sharing that the story of their meeting was memorable and “like a movie,” though she kept details private.
The gala reinforced Megan Thee Stallion’s commitment to meaningful social impact and showcased how celebrity-led initiatives can drive tangible change for communities in need. With expanded programming and continued momentum, the Pete & Thomas Foundation is poised to make an even greater difference in the years ahead.
