From Mount Sinai
The Why Not You Foundation, founded by philanthropist and Super Bowl Champion Russell Wilson and multi-platinum, Grammy–winning artist and philanthropist Ciara, announce a $3 million philanthropic gift to NYC’s Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital. The gift will support patient and family programs and facilities within the Kravis Children’s Hospital and will ultimately name the Child Life Zone Theater and the Play Space in the Jack Martin Fund Inpatient Unit for Children’s Cancer and Blood Disease.
“Russell and Ciara’s commitment to children and families is both genuine and deeply felt,” said Brendan G. Carr, MD, MA, MS, Chief Executive Officer of the Mount Sinai Health System. “Their presence in our hospital, week after week, brings joy, hope, and a sense of community to our patients and staff. This generous gift from the Why Not You Foundation will create lasting spaces where children can play, learn, and heal. We are honored to partner with them to advance compassionate, child-centered care at Mount Sinai.”
