DeMarco Murray Raises Awareness and Money at Celebrity Waiter Night

Blog· Events

There are two types of charities that I really love; one that involves the Dallas Cowboys and one that involves kids. When you get a charity that brings the two together, you’ve hit the jackpot. DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys running back, hosted the 2nd Annual Celebrity Waiter Night at Ocean Prime to benefit his charity Demarco Murray Foundation.

The event started off with hors d’oeuvres on the patio at Ocean Prime. A mixed crowd of all ages that packed in the patio. Outside while guests noshed on delicious delicacies, a silent auction took place with items of all sorts up for grabs.

There was lots of Dallas Cowboys memorabilia up for grabs, all starting at great prices.

Before we knew it, a line of Dallas Cowboys marched out in aprons to pour wine for guests and to mingle with the crowd.

He spoke about his charity, Demarco Murray Foundation, and how explained that he wants the children to know that they have a large support group whether it be for their academics or for athletics.  All kids need to know they have a people in their lives that are there to push them and DeMarco Murray is making sure that happens.

A few Dallas Cowboys took the night to help their teammate and friend to show up for this great cause. Tony Romo, Tyler Clutts, Doug Free, and Jason Witten were just a few of the players who were in attendance. They walked around, shook hands and autographed footballs for anyone and everyone who asked. I love that they were so personable and really showed up for charity.

Dinner was beyond delicious. Wine was served graciously along with our salad, filet mignon and dessert.

It was a great night to see the Cowboys helping their team mate raise more awareness and money for the DeMarco Murray Foundation. My favorite part of the night was DeMarco Murray pouring me a glass of wine.

    What a fun event! The food looks amazing. But The Dallas Cowboys is kind of a dirty word in our house (my husband is from Wisconsin).

    How cool is celebrity waiter night! I swear I’m terrible with names and only know them by their TV show name (I know the football guys don’t change it, but you know what I mean I think lol). I’m not too into football, but I wouldn’t mind hunky guys like them serving me supper! Haha.

    This looks so fun! The 49’ers do a similar event here, called the Pasta Bowl. They all serve spaghetti and such.

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
