Team Jack Radiothon raises money for childhood brain cancer research [Video]

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – For the 11th straight year, radio stations across Nebraska are banding together for the Team Jack Radiothon to raise funds and awareness about childhood brain cancer.

At the event in Elwood, Nebraska on Thursday, children and families who have been affected by childhood brain cancer will be sharing their stories. Various prizes will also be given out throughout the day from football tickets, Air Pods and signed posters from Husker volleyball players.

This years goal is to raise $200,000, all going to advance research and treatments for childhood brain cancer. In 2022, the 10th year of the radiothon, they reached the $1 million fundraising mark.

“There’s so many different things going on and and to see so many people work so hard to come together for this effort to help these families is it’s pretty cool,” Kylie Dockter, Executive Director of the Team Jack Foundation said. …
