Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson responded Saturday to a report that his Why Not You Foundation only funnels about a quarter of the donations it receives to charitable efforts.
In a video posted on Twitter, Wilson said his foundation has raised over $10 million "for pediatric cancer, and for education, and for hunger prevention and so much more," noting that money raised goes "directly to those in need" because of the partnership his foundation has with multiple brands:
