Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande Raise Over $3.5 Million for First Responders Children’s Foundation

Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber have teamed up for a great cause. These two mega-watt stars are using their platforms to raise money for the First Responder’s Children’s Foundation.

First Responders Children’s Foundation has announced that proceeds donated from the single entitled “Stuck with U” have now surpassed $3.5 Million, directly impacting thousands of first responder families all across the United States. The donation will be used to fund scholarships for children of first responders as well as provide financial support to the families and children of healthcare workers, EMTs, paramedics and firefighters serving on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. www.1strcf.org.

“Stuck With U” was released in Spring 2020, in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic and to further bolster relief efforts across the United States. It was a creative collaboration between Scooter Braun’s SB Projects, Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, along with Republic Records and Def Jam Recordings, donating 100% of net profits from streams and sales to the First Responders Children’s Foundation. 

The specific areas of impact resulting from the donation include:

  • Awarding grants to first responders who have encountered financial hardship due to COVID-19.
  • Awarding scholarships to children whose first responder parents have died in the line of duty.
  • Providing funding for temporary housing so that first responders could self-quarantine.
  • Paying for funerals of first responders or their family members who died as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
