Neal McCoy and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders established a relationship that began over 20 years, when in 2001, both headlined a USO Tour. From that first tour, many other excursions were made to support and entertain the US Military stationed all over the world.  The bond continued to strengthen as Neal made numerous appearances as a Celebrity Judge on DCC: Making the Team. With this special bond, it made sense to incorporate the DCC in the labor of love foundation Nela created with his wife, Melinda. 2022 marks the 28th year of the East Texas Angel Network (ETAN), and with their daughter Miki Dougherty as the Executive Director, it truly is a family endeavor that continues to grow and benefit children & their families with life challenging and life threatening illnesses.  The latest event on Sept. 23rd tallied approximately $500,000.00 for the foundation. To date ETAN has raised over $11 Million for the local area. Neal and his family are rooted in East Texas and their compassion is shown through the generosity of their time and talents.
