Jay Saldi IV, Tight End for the Dallas Cowboys
His son, former Southlake Carroll High School standout and UNLV linebacker, Bryce Saldi suffered a debilitating brain injury July 3, 1999 from a skateboarding accident while on a family vacation. He would never play football again, and has spent years fighting for his life.
Bryce Saldi, 1999 Starting Linebacker for UNLV Rebels as a Freshman
Bryce played in all 12 games as a freshman during the 2008 season and looked to follow in his father’s footsteps towards a career in the NFL. That dream is long forgotten, but the desire to lead a normal life is not.
Now the Saldi’s are in need of the same assistance from the community he has given to for so many years.
Tiffany Brooks, wife of former Dallas Cowboy Kevin Brooks, and Dodge City of McKinney are carrying the torch for their friend. Mrs. Brooks will be hosting the 1st annual Gather For The Oscars red carpet fundraiser February 24, 6:30 p.m. at Gather in Downtown McKinney. Tickets are 100 dollars per person.
