With former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Babe Laufenberg serving as … [Read more...] about JUST IN [Despite Tornado Warnings]: Children’s Cancer Fund Class Of 2023 Models Revealed

Jan 27, 2023 1:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

On the surface, some folks might think that the only thing that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and New York Jets defensive tackle Solomon Thomas have in common is a heck of a lot of pressure to succeed on the playing field.

JUST IN: Mental Health Advocate Dak Prescott To Keynote Metrocare’s 2022 Meal For Minds

Mar 25, 2022 3:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is no stranger to mental health. As traumatic as it was when his mother Peggy Prescott succumbed to cancer in 2013, the suicide of his 31-year-old older brother Jace Prescott in April 2020, compounded with the pandemic, sent him into a private state of anxiety and depression. Making it all the worse was Dak's celeb status as the leader of … [Read more...] about JUST IN: Mental Health Advocate Dak Prescott To Keynote Metrocare’s 2022 Meal For Minds

Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott And Joanna Hernandez Demonstrated The Importance Of After-School All-Stars For Middle Schoolers

Jul 4, 2017 1:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Even the most blemish-free runway model recoils when recalling those days between elementary and high school. Teachers serving time in classrooms during this tenure should receive combat pay. Kids on their … [Read more...] about Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott And Joanna Hernandez Demonstrated The Importance Of After-School All-Stars For Middle Schoolers

May 15, 2017 11:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean
