Dak Prescott honors late mother with a bracelet, sends powerful mental health message amid frustrating Cowboys season

The Dallas Cowboys finished another difficult season, and frustration followed them into the offseason. For Dak Prescott, though, the days after the final game were not only about football. While the team dealt with questions and criticism, the Cowboys quarterback focused on something deeply personal and long-standing in his life.
Prescott has spent years using his platform for causes that matter to him. His Faith Fight Finish Foundation has centered on cancer research and mental health awareness, shaped by personal loss and real experiences. Even as the Cowboys struggled on the field, Prescott continued to push that mission forward, showing that his work away from football does not stop when the season ends.

Dak Prescott’s ENOUGH bracelet carries a deeply personal message

On January 6, Prescott and his foundation announced the launch of the ENOUGH bracelet through an Instagram post. The bracelet was created by TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie, with all proceeds going toward mental health organizations. The foundation also shared plans to release more apparel tied to the same cause.
In the caption, Prescott’s foundation explained why the bracelet matters so much. “Today is the launch of the ENOUGH bracelet, I wear mine in honor of my mom who always made me feel ENOUGH,” the post read. “100% of the profits from ENOUGH go to mental health organizations that are saving and transforming lives everyday. Learn more at www.WeAreEnough.org.”
The post included a striking black-and-white photo of Prescott holding a football and smiling calmly at the camera. The green ENOUGH bracelet stood out as the only color in the image. The message was simple and intentional.
Prescott created the Faith Fight Finish Foundation in memory of his mother, Peggy, who passed away in 2013 after battling colon cancer. Honoring her has always been central to his work. Over the years, he has also become more vocal about mental health after losing his brother Jace to suicide in 2020.
Last May, during Mental Health Awareness Month, Prescott visited a local high school in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to speak directly with students about mental health and suicide prevention. He has also worked closely with the Children’s Cancer Fund, helping launch mental health services for kids battling cancer. In April last year, Prescott raised $2.7 million to support pediatric cancer research focused on early diagnosis. All of this came as Prescott wrapped up a tough NFL season. The Cowboys finished 7-9-1 and missed the playoffs again.
After a Week 18 loss to the New York Giants, Prescott spoke honestly about how the year felt. “Yeah, sure, tired, right?” he said. “But it’s up to me to control. And that’s why I said this year was as frustrating as anything. I take accountability, don’t get me wrong, and in so many ways. As the leader, I’m always frustrated trying to figure out what I could have done better. I do still put some of it on myself, but unfortunately, we just didn’t get it done.”
