Prescott’s nonprofit teamed up with Raising Cane’s to deliver 50 new bikes and helmets to students of all ages.

DALLAS — Dozens of North Texas students are riding into next year on new bicycles thanks to Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Dak Prescott.

Prescott and his Faith Fight Finish Foundation teamed up with Raising Cane’s to provide 50 new Cane’s-branded bikes and helmets to students of all ages. They put together a Christmas-themed event with reindeer and fake snow to give the bikes away.

The Cowboys quarterback said it was amazing to see and reminded him of memories of getting his own bike for Christmas as a child and his first time riding a bike.

“Maybe that’s gonna be this for some of these kids,” Prescott said. 

Prescott said he is where he is today because of his parents and that he understands some of these children don’t have that. 

“This is one of my favorite events we do every year, being able to just give to these kids and understanding how tough and the different circumstances that they go through in their daily life and the different stress that these kids may have,” Prescott said. “To provide a moment of joy and provide a moment of hope…I’m thankful for it, and it means the world to be able to host this.”

Prescott has two daughters of his own, but neither of them is quite old enough to start riding bikes yet, he said. His own daughters have taught him about being patient and present during the holidays.

“I think just the presence that one can give somebody else is as good enough as a present as anything can be,” he said.

Prescott’s foundation has been providing Christmas gifts to children in need around North Texas for the past several years. Raising Cane’s is also helping to give away 5,000 bikes to children across the nation this season.
