It’s tax season and celebrities are donating tens of millions of dollars to worthy causes in exchange for nice tax write-offs.
Ciara and Russell Wilson have a combined net worth of nearly $200 million. Most of their wealth would be gobbled up by taxes if they didn’t make generous donations and other tax write-offs.
Ciara and Russell blessed the Ballard food bank in Seattle, Washington with a donation of $250,000. The donation was made through their Why Not You foundation.
The Ballard Food Bank thanked the power couple on their Instagram page.
“A massive thank you to the Why Not You Foundation for their pledge of $250,000! We are grateful for their passion and belief in our mission to bring food and hope to our neighbors,” the post read.
“With this donation they join us in the work to connect neighbors with crucial resources and food supports. These dollars will be used to fuel programs like Weekend Food for Kids.
“Many kids rely on school breakfasts and lunches for most of their food during the week. Weekend Food for Kids works to bridge the gap, so children stay fed over the weekend and show up ready to learn on Monday mornings!”
