Russell Wilson capped off a whirlwind week in style, raising a massive $3 million for charity alongside his wife, Ciara. The couple looked stunning at the fundraising event, which supported their Why Not You Foundation and The V Foundation in the fight against cancer.
Wilson, 36, shared photos from the evening, writing, “So Grateful! $3 Million Raised last night with this beautiful lady.” In one of the shots, he’s seen holding a football while Ciara gears up for a celebratory high-five, with the New York Giants logo in the background—a nod to his fresh start in NYC.
The event came just days after Wilson inked a one-year, $21.5 million deal with the Giants, which includes $10.5 million guaranteed. The former Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl champion spent last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, helping them reach the playoffs before parting ways.
Wilson’s arrival in New York has already sparked excitement, especially after two rough seasons for the Giants. With Daniel Jones now out of the picture, Wilson has made his intentions clear: he’s here to lead.
“I expect to be the starter and come in here ready to rock and roll every day,” Wilson said. “This team is looking for leadership, and I’m focused on winning.”
The Giants hold the third overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, and speculation is swirling about whether they’ll select Shedeur Sanders, or focus on other key positions. With Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito also on the roster, the team’s quarterback strategy remains a hot topic.
But for now, Wilson is embracing his fresh start—on and off the field. And with $3 million raised for charity, he’s already making an impact in New York.
