As shoppers checked out spring fashions at NorthPark Monday afternoon, there was a special occasion that literally had people stopping in their tracks. At first glance, the sight of a trio of past and present Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks (Babe Laufenberg, Troy Aikman and Dak Prescott) and area sports media in the NorthCourt may have been the draw. But it turned out that it was the reveal of the 23 youngsters — Paisley Bennett (6), Cami Clements (7), Analise Cuington (17), Maycee Dickson (17), Miller Dietsche (14), Libby Evans (13), Shameel Farishta (10), Luis Garza (17), Kewan Gibson (8), Annaliah Gonzalez (7), Briella Hernandez (11), Trevor Hurton (10), Sergio Jaramillo (17), Amairy Leon Velazquez (6), Dak Lopez (6), Daniella Luevano (10), Stella Matthews (13), Cannon McGough (8), Mackenzie Mickelson (11), Eleazar Moreno (10), Preston Pipkins (14), Dustin Samuel Rodriguez (9) and Bennett Sieck (11) — who will be on the runway for the 2024 Children’s Cancer Fund Gala’s “A Knight To Remember.”
As each youngster was announced, the community of families whose children are battling cancer whooped it up. But it was only a hint of the celebration that will take place at the annual fundraiser on Friday, April 19, at the Hilton Anatole, with children’s book author Emberli Pridham serving as chair.
