Forget all the hoo-ha of the weekend’s Super Bowl. The rollout of the 2025 Children’s Cancer Fund Gala‘s models just took place this afternoon at NorthPark’s North Court.
On hand for the fundraiser’s announcement celebration were Honorary Co-Chairs Troy Aikman and Dak Prescott, CCF CEO Jennifer Arthur and 2025 CCF Ball Co-Chairs Lori Jones and Meredith Land.
With a crowd full of family, friends and fans looking on, the cancer patients and survivors presented included the following: Rufo Abbajifar, Skylar Adams, Darius Alexander, Octavia Castillo, Wells Denison, Mikensie Duncan, Kyndall Frederick, Lauren Gutierrez, Kira Handrale, Matthew Haynes, August Johansen, Isabela Lam, Lennox Lannon, Clayton Moorse, Matthew Norris, Lorenza Ruiz, Mateo Badillo Soto, Erin Savage, Lincoln Schoessow and Dylan Williams.
As the youngsters gathered with the chairs and Jennifer, NorthPark Center President Nancy Nasher and Children’s Medical Center Foundation President Brent Christopher, Model Reveal Host Kimberly Schlegel Whitman invited Dylan, who plans to be a sportscaster, to the podium to read the final line of the day. With Dak and Troy behind him, Dylan’s talents received a rousing round of applause by the standing-room-only crowd including Lori’s husband Jerry Jones Jr. and daughter Mary Jones and Dak’s fiancee Sarah Jane Ramos and their daughter, MJ. It was just a year ago at the CCF Model Reveal that Dak announced that he and Sarah Jane were expecting. Come this May, the pair will be giving MJ a baby sister.
These champion models in Dillard’s fashions will be escorted on stage at the Hilton Anatole by celebrities from all walks of life on Friday, April 11.
