Sabrina Carpenter is proving she’s so much more than just the voice behind those infectious pop bops we can’t stop streaming! The ‘Please Please Please’ hitmaker just scored some major recognition for her incredible philanthropic work, earning a PLUS1 Impact Award for raising over $1 million through her Sabrina Carpenter Fund. This isn’t just about chart-topping success—this is about using that platform to make real change in the world, and we’re absolutely here for it!
Through her dedicated fund, Sabrina has channeled her energy and resources into three crucial areas: mental health awareness, animal welfare, and LGBTQ+ rights. Talk about using your voice for good! While we love blasting ‘Espresso’ on our morning commute, it’s even more inspiring to see an artist putting their money where their music is. The Sabrina Carpenter Fund has become a powerful vehicle for change, showing that today’s pop stars are about more than just catchy hooks and viral moments.
Sabrina wasn’t the only artist getting celebrated for their social impact work—she was in some seriously impressive company! The PLUS1 Impact Awards also honored artists like Mumford & Sons, $uicideboy$, MARINA, and even our boy Post Malone. These awards specifically recognize artists and industry leaders who are turning their creative influence into tangible, real-world change. It’s a reminder that the music community has incredible power to drive important conversations and support meaningful causes.
“These awards celebrate artists and industry leaders who are turning their creative influence into real-world change.”
Here in Memphis, we know a thing or two about music with purpose and artists who give back to their communities. From local heroes supporting Memphis music education programs to global stars using their platforms for good, we’ve always appreciated when artists remember their roots and responsibilities. Sabrina’s commitment to mental health resources particularly resonates in our city, where community support and looking out for one another has always been part of our DNA.
What’s truly exciting about movements like this is seeing how the next generation of artists are building philanthropy right into their careers from the start. Instead of waiting until they’re established legends, artists like Sabrina are making social impact part of their brand from day one. It sets an incredible precedent for what it means to be successful in the music industry today—not just streaming numbers and sold-out tours, but actual positive change in the world.
Keep making those bops AND making a difference, Sabrina—we see you and we’re cheering you on!
