The funds from the gala will support research to help the fight against pediatric cancer as well as care for current patients.
Dak Prescott addressed contract talks ahead of the Gala
Just before Friday's night event began, Dak Prescott spoke to members of the media at a press conference. Of course, the topic of a possible contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys was something that was discussed.
Prescott went on to tell reporters that he isn't trying to become the highest-paid quarterback in the National Football League. The quarterback is also aware that other players on his team need to get paid as well.
“I’m not trying to be the highest paid … necessarily. So I’ll wait til the negotiations begin. I obviously want to put this team in the best situation,” said Dak Prescott.
The 30-year-old has made it clear that he wants to stay with the Dallas Cowboys however, he also told reporters that he will just wait and see what happens after the 2024 NFL season.
"I'm not going to say I fear being here or not. I don't fear either situation, to be candid with you... Right now it's with the Dallas Cowboys. It's where I want to be and that's where I am and that's the focus. And after this season we'll see where we're at and if the future holds that ... and then if not, we'll go from there."
Along with Prescott, the Dallas Cowboys also have wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and linebacker/defensive end Micah Parsons, who could receive lucrative contract extensions.
