“Our patients were overjoyed with happiness to have the opportunity to spend quality time with both of them,” the hospital said in a social media post. “We are beyond grateful for their support and generosity in being here to visit our kids and give them moments they will never forget.”
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson and his popstar wife Ciara made a special visit to UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
In a post on the social media platform X, the hospital shared photos of Wilson and Ciara hanging out with patients and their families. The post called Wilson and Ciara “our newest friends to the ‘Burgh.”
“We are beyond grateful for their support and generosity in being here to visit our kids and give them moments they will never forget,” the post on X said.
Tuesday was at least the third time Wilson visited UPMC Children’s Hospital. He went in April and again on Sept. 4.
Wilson has a long history of making trips to visit pediatric hospital patients. While playing for the Denver Broncos, Wilson wore a pair of custom cleats honoring the work of the Children’s Hospital Colorado and the Why Not You Foundation as a part of the NFL’s My Cause My Cleats campaign. Wilson also visited Seattle Children’s Hospital every Tuesday for a decade while playing for the Seattle Seahawks.
