United Way of Metropolitan Dallas is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a grand event at Fair Park on Saturday, Nov. 15. The nonprofit organization has planned a day filled with food, community activities, and music, culminating in a concert at the Cotton Bowl featuring Janet Jackson and Blake Shelton. Both artists are excited to support United Way's mission through their performances, with Shelton expressing a special connection to the event due to his Oklahoma roots.
