The 12th Annual Team Jack Radiothon presented by The Home Agency was an incredible day for raising research funds and awareness for childhood brain cancer! Over $186,000 was raised through the eleven-hour event broadcast on dozens of radio stations throughout Nebraska, distributed by the Huskers Radio Network. Listeners across the state called in, donated on-site in Elwood at The Home Agency, and gave online to help fund better treatments for kids with brain cancer! We are truly grateful for the support from donors, radio stations, sponsors, volunteers, radio hosts, and families for making this day a success! Here are highlights from the day:
