Russell Wilson and Ciara auction off double date for charity

Seattle Seahawks star quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, Grammy-award winning singer Ciara, are continuing to find innovative ways to help the Seattle community, many who are suffering thanks to the stay-at-home order in response to COVID-19.

After pledging meals to feed the needy, Wilson and Ciara are now taking part in the All In Challenge, an auction event sponsored by Fanatics that is donating 100% of the proceeds to Feeding America, Meals On Wheels, World Central Kitchen and No Kid Hungry.

The auction item up for bid is a double date with Wilson and Ciara, where they will agree to take the winner and one guest to dinner at one of their favorite restaurants. The winner will be flown out to the destination by Wilson and Ciara – via Wheels Up, another of Wilson’s charitable endeavors.

Wilson and Ciara announced the auction on Twitter, with Wilson extending the challenge to another pair of celebrity couples: former baseball star Alex Rodriguez and singer/actress Jennifer Lopez, as well as singer John Legend and model/actress Chrissy Teigen.

The bidding began at $10,000 dollars, and was already up over double that at the time of this writing.
