Dallas Morning News: ‘It’s a special thing’ – Dallas Cowboys players make holiday visits to four local children’s hospitals

by | Dec 12, 2019 | Events, Press Coverage

For decades, the Dallas Cowboys football team has made annual holiday visits to local children’s hospitals. This week, players and team cheerleaders posed for photographs and signed autographs at four Dallas area hospitals, including Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. 

“The impact that we can make on the platform we have, I think, is amazing,” Vander Esch said. “We can go out and form relationships with people in the community and see the instant impact and smile that it puts on their face, especially the kids and the things that they’re dealing with, the struggles in their lives. It’s a special thing to get out and do stuff like that, and I know every single one of the guys on the team would say the exact same thing.”

Dallas Cowboys players and cheerleaders spent the morning spreading cheer, signing gifts and visiting patients at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children on Monday. The players, led by veteran linebacker Sean Lee and running back Ezekiel Elliott, arrived on a team bus carrying sacks full of gifts for excited patients. After a brief introduction from Robert L. Walker, the President/CEO of Scottish Rite Hospital, the players began greeting families and smiling for photos.
 
Lee led a group of Cowboys players and cheerleaders through the hospital to bring the Cowboys Christmas spirit to patients in their rooms while Elliott and others signed footballs, pictures and more for families in the atrium.
 
“It means a lot to be able to come out here and give back to the community,” offensive lineman Joe Looney said. “We’re so blessed to do what we do, and to come out here and see these kids and the smiles on their faces really makes our day more than it makes theirs.”
