What: Mosaic Family Services Gala 2016
Where: The Empire Room
The 411: More than 330 charitable partiers headed for the Dallas Design District to raise crucial funds for Mosaic Family Services. Welcomed by event chairs Melissa Green and Elizabeth Weathersby and honorary chair Lana Byrne, attendees enjoyed Oak Highlands brews, signature gin and whiskey cocktails, and small bites before assembling for a family-style dinner provided by Stock & Barrel. As they dined, emcee Steve Kemble kept the program moving, a highlight of which was the presentation of the 2016 Champion of Human Rights Award to Jennifer Staubach Gates by her mother, Marianne Staubach, and interim Dallas police chief David Pughes.
After dinner, guests continued the party with DJ Carlis, a stacked silent auction, and casino games. The gala raised $155,000 for Mosaic Family Services, which provides comprehensive services to survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.

Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys headed to Hollywood on August 11 for the silver-star-studded premiere of Netflix's forthcoming series America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys.
Releasing August 19, the documentary series will "tell the story of how 'America’s Team' established a legacy," Netflix says, adding, "America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys is the definitive story of the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones’ impact on NFL history. What began as a daring purchase led to the assembly of the iconic ’90s football team."
Watch the trailer here:
Jerry, his wife, Gene Jones, and their extended family - including children and Cowboys execs Charlotte Jones, Stephen Jones, and Jerry Jones, Jr. - walked the blue carpet at the The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood in Los Angeles ahead of the premiere.
They were joined by an A-list roster of Cowboys greats, Hollywood stars, and celebrity athletes and TV broadcasters. Among them: Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith (with Smith's kids Elijah and Rheagen Smith), Marshawn Lynch, James Washington, TV host Mario Lopez, broadcaster Al Michaels, sports reporters Andrea Kremer, Jamie Erdahl and Taylor Bisciotti, Olympic gymnastics gold medalist Nastia Liukin, actress Molly Burnett, and Dallas-based reality TV star Rachel Lindsay.
Ted Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix, and Bela Bajaria, chief content officer for Netflix, helped throw the event for the Cowboys. New Paramount-Skydance owner David Ellison was there, as well. In fact, he was a driving force behind the series. America's Team is the first project to come out of a joint venture between NFL Films and Skydance Sports.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix's Bajaria told the audience before the screening, “Back in March of 2023, I was having lunch with David Ellison at the Tower Bar, and he mentioned he had secured the rights to the telling of the Dallas Cowboys. I don’t think he got the sentence out before I said, ‘Wait, wait, wait, stop, we have to have it no matter what.’ And he said, ‘No, no, no, I’m telling you I’m getting the deal, I don’t have it closed yet.’ I was like, ‘It doesn’t matter, we just have to have it,'” as she’s a big Cowboys fan. “So, David thank you for saying yes; Cowboys, too, thank you for saying yes.”
America's Team will feature appearances by players who became household names in the ’90s, Netflix says — Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders — as well as head coaches Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer and high-profile fans such as former President George W. Bush and Nike co-founder Phil Knight. It is directed by brothers Chapman and Maclain Way.
America's Team will be available for streaming on Netflix on August 19.
It follows the highly successful Netflix series about the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, America's Sweethearts, now in its second season. Several DCC stars were part of the America's Team L.A. premiere, including Reece Weaver, Sophy Laufer, Camille Sturdivant, and Charly Barby.
