Every year, the Dallas Cowboys and Susan G. Komen hand-pick a select group of breast cancer survivors to recognize as part of their Star Survivor program. For its 10-year anniversary, the sports organization brought 10 survivors to AT&T Stadium for a weekend full of special experiences. Southlake Style’s own office coordinator, Kelly Rose, was one of this year's recipients, and she celebrated with an anniversary of her own — being 10 years cancer-free.
The weekend began with an exclusive tour of The Star in Frisco, where Kelly and the rest of the Star Survivors met with Dallas Cowboys players including Dak Prescott and Cee Dee Lamb. Later, they met with the DCC cheerleaders and performed their own high-kick routine. After that, the group was treated to a private party sponsored by Kendra Scott, where they enjoyed mimosas and picked out their favorite jewelry pieces. On Saturday, the Jerry Jones family bus picked up Kelly and her pink siblings for a private tour of AT&T Stadium.
The four-day extravaganza culminated on Oct. 13th, where all of the survivors watched the game from their own private suite. But before kickoff, Kelly and company got their moment in the spotlight when Charlotte Jones Anderson and Sam Williams presented them with pink corsages on the field, celebrating their journeys of overcoming cancer.
“Because of this whole experience, I now have nine new survivors that I’ll have as friends for life,” Kelly expresses. “We have a bond that will never be broken, and I’ll always be grateful to the Dallas Cowboys for giving that to all of us.
