This year’s keynote speaker is Zac Taylor, Head Coach of the Cincinnati Bengals and a former Nebraska Cornhusker quarterback. Taylor has led the Bengals to continued success on the national stage, including a Super Bowl appearance, and is widely respected for his leadership, resilience, and commitment to team culture. At Nebraska, Taylor led the Huskers to the Big 12 Championship game and was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2006.

About Team Jack Foundation
The Team Jack Foundation’s mission is to raise research funds and awareness for childhood brain cancer. Brain cancer is the leading cancer cause of death in children. Each year less than four percent of U.S. federal funding is solely dedicated to childhood cancer research, with even less spent on childhood brain cancer research.
Since 2013, the Team Jack Foundation has raised over $16.3 million for childhood brain cancer research and has invested in 20 research projects regionally and nationally, including a $6.5 million commitment to the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Children’s Nebraska for the creation of a childhood brain tumor program.
