The Team Jack Foundation’s mission is to raise funds and awareness for childhood brain cancer research. Brain cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. Each year, less than four percent of U.S. federal funding is dedicated solely to childhood cancer research, with even less allocated to childhood brain cancer research.  Since 2013, the Team Jack Foundation has raised more than $17 million for childhood brain cancer research and has invested in 21 research projects both regionally and around the world. One key area of focus for the Foundation is the development of a childhood brain tumor program in Omaha, Nebr. Team Jack has committed $6.5 million toward the program at UNMC and Children’s Hospital & Medical Center to help ensure children in the region have access to the best treatments available.

The Foundation will continue partnering directly with world-renowned researchers to advance meaningful and impactful research initiatives. To learn more, visit https://teamjackfoundation.org/
