In a philanthropic move, Four Chord Fest partnered with the nonprofit organization Biggies Bullies, which is dedicated to rescuing and rehoming pitbull-type dogs in Pittsburgh and its neighboring regions. Sponsors like Monster Energy Drink, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and Captain Morgan also support the festival.
