Megan Thee Stallion has revealed big plans for her nonprofit organization. The Houston rapper announced the inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala, set to take place in New York City’s Gotham Hall on July 16.
According to Billboard, the event will be hosted by Taraji P. Henson and feature DJ D-NICE at the DJ booth. Additionally, a special musical guest will be announced as a performer closer to the event. As described by the outlet, influential figures in various industries such as business, sports, philanthropy, and entertainment will be invited to the elegant affair.
The Pete & Thomas Foundation was founded by the Grammy-winning musician in 2022, in honor of her late parents, Holly Thomas and Joseph Pete Jr. According to its official website, the organization exists to provide resources to effect meaningful and positive change in the lives of women and children, senior citizens, and underserved communities in Houston and worldwide.
The foundation’s programs are focused on the areas of education, housing, health & wellness, and community goodwill.
In 2024, the Pete and Thomas Foundation served over 8,600 students, mothers, fathers, and senior citizens with various events such as the Hottie Walk in Los Angeles, the Emergency Power Program, and the annual Megan Thee Stallion Day of national community service and giving back.

“Launching the Pete and Thomas Foundation is easily one of the most significant endeavors that I’ll ever be part of in my career,” explained the 30-year-old.
“My family raised me to help others and give back, so I’m incredibly proud to be in a position to accomplish that goal. I have a responsibility to use my platform to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who may not have access to resources and support services.”
