Despite being well known for their respective fields, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, and singer, Ciara Wilson, are also known for their humanitarian work. They run a foundation with a mission to fight poverty and several social justice causes through education and empowering youth.

Ciara Wilson’s call for justice
A little boy named Raphael Yaw was on his way to pick up his younger siblings from a friend’s house on April 13. But he, unintentionally, went to the wrong address and parked in a stranger’s driveway. During the doorbell call, an intruder opened it and shot him through a glass in his head, then shot him again while he was still on the ground. Miraculously, Ralph was able to get up and run to multiple neighbors’ houses for help, thanks to his will to live and the power of God by his side.
Ralph, a great kid with a love for music, is now fighting for a chance to return to a new normal. The man who committed this senseless act is currently free and living comfortably in his home, which has sparked outrage and a call for justice from Ciara and others.

The impactful work of Russell Wilson and Ciara’s ‘Why Not You Foundation’, a non-profit organization that was founded in 2014 with a mission to fight poverty through education and empower youth to lead with a “why not you” attitude.
The NFL quarterback was inspired by his father’s challenge to approach life with a “why not you” attitude during his childhood. Through the Foundation, Russell aims to share this mindset by encouraging and challenging today’s youth to embrace opportunities, overcome obstacles, and make a positive impact in their lives.
Ciara, a Grammy-winning singer, and songwriter brings her passion for helping girls and young women to the foundation. She firmly believes that everyone should have access to education, and empowerment skills for healthy and positive growth. Apart from providing financial support to organizations aligned with the foundation’s mission, Russell extends its impact by advocating for pediatric cancer, making visits to Seattle Children’s, and partnering with various organizations such as Treehouse, YouthCare, IslandWood, Friends of the Children, and many others.
