Kenosha WI, (May 28, 2025) Local YouTube Influencer, Tristan Jass, known for his viral trick shots and basketball skills, took on Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks. What started as a viral basketball showdown with Giannis and YouTube giant Mr. Beast ended with a major act of kindness for Shalom Center. The challenge, produced by Mr. Beast, came with a $100,000 prize. Tristan Jass won the competition and then decided to give every dollar away.

“After winning the hundred thousand, we kind of decided we’re going to give this all away—I want to actually give $10,000 of that to the Shalom Center,” Jass said.

In addition to the money given to Shalom Center, nine fans can each win $10,000 in giveaways. The instructions on how to enter will be found in Jass’ upcoming videos.

“We just want to say thank you! The way he was able to acquire the money and then think of us right away was just surprising and wonderful. Donations from the community are essential for the Shalom Center to continue its mission,” said Esther Roberts, Executive Director of Shalom Center.
