Not only did Prescott surprise them with his presence, but he also gifted them with a $500 shopping spree. Hence, the star QB spent a massive $15,000, allowing the kids to initiate a step towards fulfilling their sports dream.
Besides this, ‘Ruthie’s For Good‘ was also tagged. The event became more special with their delicious grilled cheese sandwiches so that their energy did not run down. The post concluded with the refrain, “It’s all about creating memories, spreading joy, and supporting the next generation. Let’s continue to fight the good fight together! Merry Christmas!” Prescott had established the FFF foundation to honor his late mother, Peggy, who passed away due to colon cancer in 2013.
It is also in memory of his brother, Jace, who he lost due to suicide in 2020. And, Prescott intends to help youth and families to navigate adversities with his initiative.
But, this was not the first association for Dak Prescott with Dick’s Sporting Goods. Previously, during their holiday campaign, he took part in a festive decorating challenge with Simone Biles and others.
