ARLINGTON, Texas – West Dallas' Mercy Street Dallas is also leading a comeback – building leaders through mentorships. At the core of their mission is sports – just like the Cotton Bowl Foundation – which was happy to give them a $100,000 boost in their quest for a new Field of Dreams.

"This money is going to a football field. We're getting ready to build a field but this is not just a regular field. But, (it's) state of the art. It's a field that is going to provide a safe environment for the kids in the community and their families," said Lee Jackson, Mercy Street Dallas Director of Sports.
