TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A popular YouTube star partnered with a local nonprofit to grant the wishes of eight Tampa Bay children.
In his “I Granted 100 Kids Their Biggest Wish!” video, MrBeast granted the dreams of 100 children with critical illnesses.
The Children’s Dream Fund helped coordinate the participation of eight local children and worked with their families to ensure the experience reflected each child’s personality and favorite things.
Malachi, Emmanuel, Millie, Grayson, and Kevin were granted a week-long trip to Give Kids the World.
Joshua was given his own laser engraver, Aaliyah received a haul of Apple products, and Gavin was granted a gaming system.

Emmanuel closed out the video by receiving a special invitation to tour MrBeast’s studio in North Carolina.
The nonprofit said the opportunity came about after MrBeast’s production team discovered them online while searching for regional wish-granting organizations.
