Pete Davidson is launching a unique fundraising campaign to support families of first responders affected by the September 11 attacks. This initiative, in collaboration with the fundraising platform Alltroo, promotes the nonprofit organization Answer the Call, which assists families of those who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Fundraising Sweepstakes Details
The fundraising sweepstakes is set to run from December 12 to December 25. As part of the campaign, Davidson is offering his classic 1970 Chevrolet truck as a prize. Participants contributing to the cause will also be entered for a chance to attend the premiere of Davidson’s upcoming film and meet him in person.
Significance of the Cause

- Davidson expressed gratitude towards Answer the Call, emphasizing its support for many families impacted by 9/11.
In his words, “The Alltroo rally has made it possible for many people to give back and create the kind of impact that allows Answer The Call to show up for even more families when they need it most.”
Davidson’s Relationship with 9/11 Charities
Throughout his career, Davidson has deeply engaged in various charitable efforts related to 9/11 families. His work includes benefit shows, memorial events, and collaborations with organizations providing mental health services to survivors.
