SIDNEY -- Sidney is one of 53 Runza locations that will be donating 10 percent of sales to Team Jack.

Team Jack is named in honor of Jack Hoffman. Hoffman was born Sept. 26, 2005 and lives in Atkinson, Neb. On April 22, 2011, he was life-flighted to Children's Hospital in Omaha after suffering a life-threatening seizure. A subsequent MRI showed a mass in the left temporal lobe of his brain. On May 20, 2011, Jack underwent surgery for the removal of a brain tumor next to his brain stem. Only a small amount of the tumor could be removed. The remaining tumor was declared inoperable.

The two previous Dine Out Days for Team Jack, held in May of 2022 and 2023, have combined to raise more than $42,000 for childhood brain cancer research. These funds are helping fund better treatments for children with brain cancer so they can not only defeat their tumors, but go on to live happy and healthy lives.

Hoffman continues to deal with epilepsy. He takes two anti-seizure medications, but he still has infrequent complex partial seizures. His providers continue to try to balance seizure control with functionality. He takes 22 pills each day and is not able to do all the things his peers can.
