Maggie Baird Leverages Star Power for Support+Feed Pickleball Fundraiser

Maggie Baird, the environmental advocate and mother of Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell, recently hosted the inaugural Support+Feed Pickleball Invitational and Game Night in Los Angeles. The star-studded event, which drew high-profile guests including Angelina Jolie, Kristen Bell, and Dax Shepard, aimed to raise funds and awareness for food insecurity and sustainable nutrition. By utilizing the popular trend of pickleball, the nonprofit successfully engaged the entertainment community to support its ongoing mission of providing plant-based meals and emergency relief.

Since its founding in 2020, Support+Feed has positioned itself at the intersection of climate action and food justice. The organization’s work has gained significant urgency following recent environmental crises, such as the 2025 wildfires in Los Angeles, where the group provided essential support to displaced residents. Baird emphasizes that the climate crisis is inextricably linked to food systems, advocating for plant-based choices as a tangible way for individuals and large-scale venues to reduce their environmental footprint.

This event highlights a growing trend of industry leaders integrating sustainability into the fabric of entertainment. Baird, who has been instrumental in implementing eco-friendly practices during Billie Eilish’s global tours, is effectively using her platform to influence industry standards. By partnering with major entities like Live Nation and WME, Support+Feed is pushing for systemic changes in how large venues handle food service, proving that celebrity-backed advocacy can drive both public awareness and practical, scalable solutions for community health and environmental preservation.
