“Chicago is the city that we grew up in," says bassist Pete Wentz. "It’s important to us that we give back and support the community and local heroes who are on the frontlines any way we can. No act of kindness is too small right now. 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.”
Previously, the Fall Out Boy Fund has donated to Chicago public schools, as well as other non-profit initiatives like Back To The Roots and the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation in the band's local area.
