GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – If you’re joining a Tom Grossi stream for the first time, you might be greeted with him showing his feet or lifting his chair into the air. That’s not to scare you off, as Grossi is attempting to raise one million dollars for a second year in a row.

Grossi is best known for being named the Packers’ 2023 NFL Fan of the Year and the Fan of the Year for the whole NFL that year.
Grossi also creates skits, hosts game reaction live streams, and produces other Packers and NFL-related content. Another off-season, and he’s choosing to spend it giving back to others.
“If I can stand here and run around and show my feet and lift chairs and dress up as characters and do live workouts, and it’s going to raise a million dollars for charity and clear out a hundred million dollars of medical debt, that is a week well spent,” Grossi said.
Since 2021, Grossi’s following has reached over one million YouTube subscribers.
Doing chatoic good as he calls it, with a whole community on his side.
“To do that with such a supportive community that just constantly shows up over and over again, I think this just shows the power of community,” Grossi said. “This is just regular, everyday people coming together, supporting people they are never going to meet.”
This year, Grossi is raising money for Undue Medical Debt, a group aimed at clearing medical debt for families across the country, showcasing the Wisconsin-way of helping those in need.
“A football youtuber can sit in his basement, a community can come together to help out struggling families that are going to get a letter in the mail that says they don’t have medical debt anymore,” Grossi said.
Monetary goals have been set for Grossi, and those donating money that Grossi will fulfill throughout the stream.
When he surpassed $400,000, he brought out Don Rodgers, a character with an ode to the former Packers signal caller.

“At $400,000, Tom Grossi is going to be taking a break, Tom Grossi is going to be taking a walk, and so now the real celebrity is here, but unlike Tom, I want this to be all about me,” Grossi said.
