"Russell Wilson and Ciara have made a significant philanthropic commitment in New York City, pledging $3 million to Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital through their Why Not You Foundation. The donation aims to expand therapeutic play and creative arts spaces for pediatric patients receiving long-term care. Wilson, currently a quarterback with the New York Giants, has been a regular presence at the Upper East Side hospital, visiting children every Tuesday."
"The new funding will support the development of environments designed to help young patients cope with extended hospital stays outside of traditional medical settings. Part of the donation will be used to upgrade a common area known as "The Zone," a space reserved specifically for children to relax, socialize, and participate in activities without medical staff present. Additional funds will go toward new creative arts and therapeutic play areas intended to support emotional well-being alongside medical treatment."

Wilson visits the Upper East Side hospital weekly and cited family healthcare experiences as personal motivation. Wilson also launched a Cameo account offering $333 inspirational videos, with three percent of each purchase—about $9.99—donated to the foundation.
