Dallas Mavericks’ Jason Terry’s Father-Daughter Ball Highlights Bond Between Fathers and Daughters

Dallas, TX — Dancing, dinner and fond memories between fathers and their daughters will mark the debut of the annual Jason Terry Foundation Father-Daughter Ball, “A Royal Affair.” The Dallas community is invited to share an evening to highlight and celebrate the importance of the father/daughter relationship while raising scholarship funds for deserving high school students. This is near and dear to Jason Terry’s heart, as he cherishes the bond he has with his four daughters and his commitment to assisting youth realize their dreams through his scholarship program.

Dads and daughters will have the opportunity to pose for photos, bid on fabulous silent auction items and have a chance to win prizes during this Father’s Day event.

“A Royal Affair” Father-Daughter Ball is an opportunity for fathers and daughters to enjoy a memorable night of fun, food, and dancing. Our intention is to put together a celebration that will highlight the special relationship between fathers and daughters that often get overlooked within families. I know that the four princesses in my life motivate me to be the best father to them that I can be. I am blessed to be in a position where I am living out my dream everyday and if I can use my celebrity to help others in need, it is my honor and responsibility to do so,” said Terry.
