Tad Carper is grateful to CowboysDak Prescott! Allegedly,  the Dallas Cowboys‘s vice president of public relations and communications recently underwent two major operations to remove cancerous tumors. According to an NFL journalist, Dak’s Faith Fight Finish Foundation helped him get away with a cancer struggle.

Taking to his Twitter handle, Clarence Hill Jr shared the same update.  “Cowboys VP of PR Tad Carper had surgery during the bye week to remove two cancerous tumors. He found out about them thanks to a test he took, courtesy of the Dak Prescott’s foundation. “

Seemingly, after the Cowboys’ QB mom’s death due to cancer, Dak has worked extensively on health issues through his charity organization. Allegedly, Prescott’s FFF foundation mainly focuses on colon cancer research, mental health, and suicide prevention.

Dak’s non-profit organization also helps build bridges between law enforcement and their communities.  So, Celery, Dak’s organization also helped the Cowboys’ VP Of PR to deflect the cancer battle.  That’s truly impressive.

He is watching tonight’s game from home,” he further mentioned. Apparently, for 2 years, Tad Carper has been working with Dak’s Cowboys with great experience in the communication field.

Tad provides extensive and “reliable expertise at the highest levels,” he stated. Apart from that, he also addressed him as one of the sports industry’s “most regarded communications professionals”. Tad is the ideal candidate “to drive our communications platform both internally and externally into the future,” Jones further added.

Soon after the ex-senior VP of PR, Rich Dalrymple quit the job at the Cowboys due to his association with the team’s cheerleading scandal incident. Immediately, Tad took over charge of the Cowboys’ communication platform.
