'Gravity Falls' reunion raises over $90,000 in wildfire relief donations

LOS ANGELES — Communities have come together following the devastating LA-area fires, showing support by raising funds and sending aid to those impacted.

For “Gravity Falls” creator Alex Hirsch, that way was a charity draw-a-thon on his Twitch channel.

Joining Hirsch in this effort were other notable figures from the Disney Channel series, including Jason Ritter, Kristen Schaal, Matt Braly, and Joe Pitt.

Despite a brief delay and some technical issues, the fundraising stream hosted by Hirsch aimed to collect $30,000 for support. Surpassing this target even before the stream began, the community’s response was overwhelmingly positive.

Closing in at $40,000, Hirsch said, “I just wanted to thank all of you. Even though the sky is on fire, and the internet doesn’t work, apparently, and it’s rough out there, like I’m incredibly inspired by everyone’s generosity.”

The rest of the stream was filled with “Gravity Falls” renditions of trending songs (The group were big fans of Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and the “Wicked” soundtrack), show-and-tell and other shenanigans.

The artists illustrated new “Gravity Falls” character mashups with “Zelda,” “Spongebob” and “Batman” characters to support their charity auction, which continues through January 21 at 5 p.m. PST.

By the end of the stream, over 2,000 people had donated, reaching over $91,000.

Hirsch ended the stream saying, “You really don’t know how much this helps out our community. Not only does it help in terms of money, but it helps in terms of like, hope. It’s really easy to get hopeless.”

The fundraiser is still running, with all proceeds going to the Wildfire Relief Fund 2025, hosted by GoFundMe.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Disney Channel and this ABC station.
