Gala’s goal? Fight Multiple Sclerosis!

Rock & Roll Hall of Famers The Spinners bring their towering legacy of classical soul music spanning more than six decades to Dallas to help celebrate The Yellow Ross Gala Foundation’s 40th Anniversary on Saturday, April 18 at the Renaissance Dallas Hotel. Co-chairs Sheree J. Wilson, CeCe Hays and Fay Sheehan (pictured) lead a night of 80s nostalgia in honor of four decades of support in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis (MS). “This 40th Anniversary Gala is a celebration of my mother’s vision and a tribute to everyone whose dedication has turned the Yellow Rose into a lasting legacy of hope, unity and strength in the fight to end MS,” Yellow Rose Gala Foundation President Fallon Wynne Way said. Presented by Simmons Bank with a matching gift from The Norris Family Foundation, the evening’s program will be emceed by Fox 4 News personalities Lauren Przybyl and Tim Ryan. Closing out the evening will be a late-night set by The Spazmatics, a premier 80s new-wave band. The 2026 Dee Wynne Courage Award will be presented to Sharon Summeral Henley. A Dallas native and former Ford model, Henley has lived with MS for decades facing the disease with grace, determination and unwavering hope.
