[edit]Philanthropy and charity work
[edit]Grossi has undertaken a range of charitable activities, often integrating them with his content and community. Over time, these efforts have grown in scale alongside his expanding platform.
Following the publication of Minneapolis Star Tribune article in late 2019, which included an image of Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr injuring Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers as one of Minnesota's top sports moments of the decade,[9] Grossi organized a fundraiser in early 2020 for a Minnesota-based service dog charity (Can Do Canines).[10] Intended as a positive response to what was viewed as an unsportsmanlike depiction,[11] the campaign raised $3,000 and resulted in a service dog named "Lambeau" (after Lambeau Field) being placed with a Packers fan in Minnesota.[12]
In June 2023, Tom Grossi embarked on his "30 in 30" stadium tour, visiting all 30 NFL stadiums in 30 days to raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The campaign initially aimed to raise $100,000, but it ultimately surpassed expectations by collecting over $500,000. Grossi personally contributed approximately $50,000, which he had been saving to purchase a home, to further support the cause.
Building on the success of his previous tour, Grossi launched his "International Stadium Tour" in May 2024, visiting seven stadiums (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Wembley Stadium, Allianz Arena, Deutsche Bank Park, Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Estadio Azteca, Arena Corinthians) across five countries (United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Mexico, and Brazil) over the course of ten days. The campaign aimed to raise $100,000 for St. Jude and incorporated several unique donation incentives, such as Grossi completing Tottenham Stadium's Dare Skywalk or participating in a flamenco dance class in Spain. The fundraiser ultimately surpassed its goal, as it drew widespread support from fans and media highlighting support from NFL fans around the world.
