Offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs has grown into a valuable member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ever since making his debut in the 2020 season. And now that he is settled in Tampa with an illustrious career at such a young age, Wirfs ensures that he gives back to the local community as a sign of gratitude.

Recently, the Bucs tackle visited the young patients at Muma Children’s Hospital at Tampa General Hospital (TGH) for the second year to deliver gifts to those in need with the Starlight Children’s Foundation. Wirfs has had a special relationship with the Muma Children’s Hospital, as he helped generate a lot of donations to the TGH Foundation’s annual Operation Santa campaign over the last two years. For 2025, Wirfs has also committed a $25,000 donation match in support of the campaign.

“Helping these kids is such an incredible feeling,” Wirfs said, as reported by South Florida Hospital News. “Walking through Muma Children’s Hospital, being able to put a smile on a kid’s face at Christmas — it is really impactful for me. Leaving the hospital after last year’s visit, I was already making plans to come back again this year. I’m honored to give back in this way.”

But this time around, the 4xPro Bowler wasn’t alone as his fellow teammates Charlie Heck, Benjamin Chukwuma, and Ben Bredeson joined to support the cause. These Tampa Bay stars interacted with patients at the Muma Children’s Hospital and gave them gifts, which included some signed memorabilia.

The Muma Children’s Hospital also issued a note of gratitude to Tristan Wirfs and his efforts towards the betterment of the community.

“We are so thankful to Tristan and the Starlight Children’s Foundation for making the season brighter for children and families facing a difficult time in their lives,” said Sarah Frahn, vice president of women’s and children’s services. “Tristan’s time and attention have meant the world to our team and our young patients.”

Alongside the off-field efforts, fans also love and adore Tristan Wirfs for his no-nonsense attitude on the field. Hence, after the Bucs’ 29-28 loss against the Atlanta Falcons, where Tampa Bay led 28-14 at one point, Wirfs had a strong message for the fans.

Tristan Wirfs addresses shocking upset against Atlanta

After a 5-1 start, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a topsy-turvy season, having won just two more games while suffering seven losses. Ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, the Bucs are on a two-game losing streak, which includes defeats against the underperforming New Orleans Saints and the Falcons.

With just three games left in the season, Tristan Wirfs had a strong reaction to his and the team’s performance in these recent few games.

“Yeah, I hope so because it’s something like that stings,” Wirfs said. “Losing two at home to two divisional opponents like that, it should sting. I hope it just gives everyone a little motivation. Honestly, you just got to get into the dance. Obviously, having a winning division and playing at home is big time.”
