NEW YORK, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Ciara is donating her winnings from an appearance on Hollywood Game Night to the Seattle Children's Hospital. The prize, won Wednesday night, totaled at $10,000.

The pop singer, full name Ciara Harris, announced her intentions for the prize money on Twitter shortly after her win on the NBC game show. The hospital's official Twitter handle also thanked the singer in response.

"Such a Cool Feeling Winning For Jessica and @seattlechildren Tonight on @NBCGameNight," Ciara wrote.

"You had us jumping out of our seats w/ the popcorn & on the edge of our seats during the final round of @NBCGameNight," the hospital replied. "Thanks again."

Ciara reportedly visits the Seattle Children's Hospital often with boyfriend, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. The couple's relationship recently sparked engagement rumors, which Ciara denied in a recent interview with E! News.
