Community & Giving
Fandom can be fun, creative, joyful, and still make room to care.
At The Pascal Pulse, community has always meant more than sharing news, celebrating Pedro’s work, or finding people who love the same things we do. It’s also about the people behind the usernames, the friendships that form, the artists and creators we discover, and the moments when a community can come together and do something meaningful.
We believe even a fan space can have a positive impact. Sometimes that means organizing a fundraiser or community project. Sometimes it means amplifying a cause that deserves more attention, supporting an artist using their work to give back, or simply helping important information reach a few more people.
We don’t expect fandom to solve the world’s problems, and we know none of us can support every cause. But when there is an opportunity to use the platform and reach we have to help, encourage, or show up for others, we want to take it.
Some of these projects are organized by The Pascal Pulse. Others come from members of the wider community whose work we’re proud to support and amplify. What they share is a little bit of heart, a lot of generosity, and the belief that something built around joy can sometimes create a little more of it beyond the fandom too.
This page is home to the community projects, fundraisers, creative collaborations, awareness efforts, and causes we organize, support, or amplify. We’ll continue adding to it as new ideas, partnerships, and projects come together.

Venezuela Relief Giveaway
In summer 2026, our community came together to support people affected by the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela.
Fans, artists, creators, collectors, and small businesses donated more than 30 prizes, while participants reported $1,057.66+ in contributions to relief efforts.
The campaign also generated more than 100,000 Instagram views, helping keep resources and organizations supporting Venezuela in front of our community.
Community Care
Not every meaningful moment has to be a large fundraiser or organized campaign. Sometimes it’s simply people showing up for one another.
Over time, we’ve helped amplify individual fans facing difficult circumstances, from mobility needs and healthcare costs to making sure someone’s story reached a little farther. In one especially meaningful moment, we joined others in the community in sharing the story of a fan who had become too ill to attend a premiere. Pedro saw our post, and she later received a personal video message from him.
We were only one part of a much larger community effort, but moments like that are a reminder of why amplification matters. Sometimes sharing a story, boosting a fundraiser, or helping someone be seen can make a real difference.
For us, that’s community at its best: people noticing, caring, sharing, and doing what they can to make someone’s day or situation a little brighter.
Birthday Projects
One of our favorite ways to bring the community together is celebrating Pedro’s birthday.
Over the years, these projects have taken different forms, but the idea behind them has stayed the same: creating something thoughtful, joyful, and filled with voices from fans around the world. Sometimes that means collecting messages, photos, art, and videos. Sometimes it means putting those messages somewhere much, much bigger.
And on more than one occasion, what the community created actually made its way to Pedro, which makes these projects even more special to us.
Because You Are Here — 2026
For Pedro’s 2026 birthday, we created Because You Are Here, a digital fan magazine filled with messages, art, stories, and contributions celebrating the impact Pedro and his work have had on people around the world.
We wanted to make something that went beyond a simple happy birthday message. The idea was to create something Pedro could explore while also capturing a little snapshot of this community: the creativity, the humor, the personal stories, and the many different reasons people have connected with him and his work.
At its heart, Because You Are Here was simply about letting someone know that their presence and their work have mattered.
A Birthday Message From the Community — 2025
For Pedro’s 2025 birthday, fans sent us messages, photos, and videos from around the world, which we brought together into a birthday slideshow celebrating him.
Then came the part we definitely weren’t expecting: Pedro saw it and left a comment.
Knowing that something made from so many individual fan contributions actually reached him made an already special project even more memorable. It also gave everyone who participated one of those wonderfully surreal fandom moments to celebrate together.
Pedro’s Birthday in Times Square — 2024
In partnership with Pedro Pascal News, a Brazilian fan page, we collected birthday messages from fans around the world and brought them all the way to Times Square in New York City.
Fans submitted messages from different countries, languages, and corners of the fandom, and those words were displayed on a huge Times Square billboard for Pedro’s birthday.
Seeing messages that began on phones and laptops around the world suddenly appear above Times Square was surreal enough, but what made the project even more meaningful was learning that the billboard was sent to Pedro and that his family was touched by it.
That meant a lot to us because, at its heart, the project was never really about having the biggest billboard. It was about giving fans from around the world a chance to come together and send one very visible message of love and appreciation.
It remains one of those projects that reminds us just how far a simple idea can travel when a community gets behind it.
From a slideshow Pedro happened to see, to messages lighting up Times Square, to a fan-made magazine filled with voices from across the community, every birthday project has looked a little different.
That’s part of what we love about them.
The goal isn’t to make every birthday bigger than the one before it. It’s simply to find a fun and thoughtful way to bring people together, celebrate someone whose work helped bring so many of us together in the first place, and see where a good idea takes us next.
Support Fan Creators
Community support doesn’t always have to look like a fundraiser. Sometimes it can be as simple as helping someone’s work reach a few more people.
Our holiday shopping guide was created to spotlight fan artists, makers, and small shops from across the community, giving readers a place to discover thoughtful gifts while also supporting the people creating the art, merchandise, and handmade pieces that make fandom more fun.
That support isn’t limited to the holidays, either. Each week, we try to use The Pascal Pulse to highlight fan creators, artists, editors, writers, photographers, small businesses, and other talented people we come across. Whether it’s through an artist spotlight, a newsletter feature, a social post, or simply sharing something we love, we want to help good work get seen.
There is so much creativity in this community, and we think it deserves attention. If we can help someone find a new artist to follow, discover a small shop they love, or put a few more eyes on a creator doing something special, that feels like another meaningful way to use the platform we’ve built.

More to Come
We are always looking for thoughtful ways our community can support causes that matter, whether through fundraising, awareness, resource sharing, collaborations, or simply helping the right information reach more people.
Not every project will look the same, and not every effort needs to be huge to matter.
A Note About Our Projects
Unless otherwise stated, The Pascal Pulse does not collect or process charitable donations directly. We encourage contributions to be made through established organizations, verified fundraisers, or official donation platforms whenever possible.
Any community or fundraising project will clearly explain where contributions are going and who is responsible for receiving them.
Community brought us together. We want to use it for something good, too.
