Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Donates $200,000 To Honor 9/11 Victims And Support Communities In Need

Arlington, TX – September 13, 2025
On the anniversary of one of the darkest moments in American history, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott pledged a $200,000 donation to honor the victims and heroes of the September 11 attacks.

This year’s event was organized through a partnership with community charities, bringing together thousands of volunteers at AT&T Stadium. Together, they worked to provide meals, assistance, and support for families in need.

Prescott’s donation will be used for two main purposes:

  • $100,000 for supporting large-scale initiatives to provide free meals for the community.

  • $100,000 for assisting vulnerable communities, disaster victims, and struggling families through ongoing service projects nationwide.

  • Prescott, who has made community outreach a cornerstone of his NFL career, emphasized that this donation is not only a tribute to those who lost their lives in the 2001 attacks but also a way to carry forward their legacy of courage and unity.

    “We will never forget the pain of 9/11, but we also can’t forget the way people came together in the days that followed. Dallas has given me so much, and this is my way of giving back — to make sure no family has to go without and to honor those whose sacrifice still inspires us today,” Prescott said.


    The timing of this donation makes it even more meaningful. On the very same day, Dak Prescott also contributed $200,000 to the Iryna Zarutska Honor Fund, joining a global wave of tributes for the Ukrainian woman whose tragic death drew international attention. These two consecutive acts of generosity highlight a player dedicated not only on the field but also in humanitarian efforts off it.

    The gesture aligns with the NFL’s broader 9/11 commemorations, which include league-wide moments of silence and numerous community service events across the country.

    For Cowboys fans, Prescott’s action is yet another example of his leadership and compassion — a reminder that in Dallas, football and community are always intertwined.

    Dak Prescott Becomes Part-Owner of Texas Rangers
    The Dallas Cowboys’ franchise quarterback has just taken his Texas roots to an entirely new level. Dak Prescott, the face of America’s Team since 2016, has officially become a part-owner of Major League Baseball’s Texas Rangers.   The Rangers, founded in 1961 and World Series champions in 2023, are one of the most iconic franchises in Texas sports. Known for legends like Nolan Ryan and Adrian Beltre, the team is once again chasing postseason glory in 2025. Prescott’s arrival in the ownership group only strengthens their identity as Texas’ team.   Dak Prescott, a two-time Pro Bowler and one of the most recognizable athletes in the NFL, has long been linked to Texas pride. His leadership for the Cowboys has not only brought stability under center, but also made him one of the league’s most marketable stars. Now, he is stepping into baseball, a sport he grew up watching in Louisiana and later embraced fully after moving to Texas. “This is about more than business,” Prescott said in a statement. “Texas has given me everything — my career, my opportunities, my platform. Being part of the Rangers means building something that will outlast my playing days. I want to see Texas sports reach every corner of America.”     Prescott follows the path of other NFL stars who’ve entered sports ownership while still playing. Patrick Mahomes became a co-owner of the Kansas City Royals, while Jalen Hurts recently joined the Philadelphia Phillies ownership group. Like them, Prescott is proving athletes can expand their legacy beyond the field. His decision comes at a time when the Rangers are balancing veteran leadership with rising young stars. Having an NFL superstar aligned with their brand brings an additional layer of cultural influence, likely boosting ticket sales, marketing, and fan engagement across Texas.   For Cowboys fans, it’s a moment of pride to see their quarterback extend his leadership into another sport. For Rangers fans, it’s validation that their franchise continues to attract big names and powerful voices who want to grow the game.   In the end, Dak Prescott’s move isn’t just about owning part of a baseball team. It’s about planting roots deeper into the heart of Texas, about legacy, and about ensuring that both Cowboys blue and Rangers red remain symbols of Texas excellence for generations to come.
