MrBeast\u2019s Team Trees smash $20 million goal with days to spare The Team Trees initiative started up by Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson has hit its goal of $20 million before January 1, with the YouTuber expressing his thanks to everyone that supported the endeavor. MrBeast is known for giving out insane amount of money to people, but now he\u2019s managed to organize one of the internet\u2019s most successful charity drives with the Team Trees campaign. The internet banded together to help the YouTuber reach his $20 million goal by January 1, and they did so with days to spare, breaking it on December 19. The Team Trees initiative was set up in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation\u2019s reforestation program, where each dollar donated was a tree planted. With MrBeast\u2019s influence, the campaign got off to an explosive start, with more than $4 million raised in the first 24 hours. Team Trees garnered the attention of massive names including Elon Musk, who donated $1 million to the initiative, as well as Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg, Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins, Jeffree Star, and a host of other stars. The trend took the internet by storm, hitting the top of both YouTube and Twitter shortly after its release. 20 million trees \u2013 in less than two months \u2013 is an incredible accomplishment and it belongs to all of us. Whether you donated, created content, or simply told your friends about #TeamTrees, this win is yours. \u2014 TeamTreesOfficial (@teamtreesofficl) December 19, 2019 MrBeast has expressed his gratitude for everyone who supported the champion, which blew up the internet in October.
