There are some moments in NFL history that go beyond the bounds of the game, and touch the lives of millions outside it. From Damar Hamlin donating over $9.1 Million to charities following his deadly scare in January, to icons like Dak Prescott winning the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, which recognizes humanitarian work outside the gridiron. But an NFL Youtuber’s noble initiative has captured the attention of millions of fans. 

This week, popular YouTuber and comedian Tom Grossi wrapped up his ambitious “30 in 30” project. With a goal of visiting 30 NFL stadiums across the United States within 30 days, Grossi aimed to raise $100,000 to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The initiative, however, not only surpassed its goals but has left a lasting moment in football history.

Grossi, a 32-year-old YouTuber and comedian, kick-started his ambitious plan on April 27 during the start of the NFL Draft. As Grossi’s “30 in 30” project gained traction, the outpouring of support exceeded all expectations. After setting out with a goal of raising $100,000, the campaign far surpassed all expectations, with a final collection of over $300,000. Just a few days ago, Grossi finally marked the end of his campaign at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on June 29th, with a final heartfelt message to his fans.

The real reason behind the remarkable effort by Tom Grossi

Grossi began his journey on 30th May, when he would step foot into the luscious greens of Lambeau Stadium in Green Bay. While he has raised thousands of dollars since then, why did he take up such a daunting task? Simply put, Grossi has a heart of gold. The Youtuber always wanted to do something impactful and a random thought on Valentine’s Day led him to his precarious journey.
