Eric Berry, a 5-time Pro Bowl safety for the Kansas City Chiefs, began his keynote speech last Saturday night in Lincoln with major props to Nebraska football alumni for their support of pediatric brain cancer.

Diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma 26 months ago, the 28-year-old Berry praised nearly two dozen former Husker players, who made another strong commitment to the Team Jack Foundation, including $50,000 in donations Saturday.

“It’s really special for me to speak at the Team Jack Foundation Gala,” Berry said.
