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.

    49ers Fan-Favourite OL Faces Family Tragedy Ahead of Week 6 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
    San Francisco 49ers rookie offensive lineman Dominick Puni is mourning a devastating personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin Justin Fuller, a respected military-trained skydiving instructor, died in a tragic tandem jump accident near Nashville.Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his parachute harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters.Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending its personnel for the effort. Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Puni, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller's , grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dominick that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Dominick lives and plays today.” Puni, a rookie out of Kansas, has steadily earned the 49ers’ trust along the offensive line, praised for his physicality in the run game and poise in protection. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years.” The 49ers have privately offered support and time for Puni and his family, ensuring he can process the loss away from team obligations. Teammates have rallied behind him, honoring his family’s resilience and service background. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to Fuller — under his nickname “Spidey” — continue to flood social media from military peers, skydivers, and fans nationwide. “He taught others to fly — now he’s flying higher than all of us,” one tribute read.
