The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office will be hosting a luncheon to benefit one of their own.

On Saturday, July 25, the LCSO will host the luncheon at the Eagles Club, 620 North Chestnut Street, to benefit Lieutenant Jeff Hedgecock.

Hedgecock has been an employee of the Lincoln County Detention Center since 1986, and has been active in youth sports for over 25 years.

According to organizers, Hedgecock is facing significant medical issues stemming from Type II diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and is currently completing processing to be placed on the donor list for a double kidney/liver transplant.

In order to help offset the enormous expenses the Hedgecocks will incur, the LCSO will be serving hot dogs and sides from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., for a free-will offering.

Additionally, a silent auction will be held from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., and bidders need not be present to win.

Monetary donations can also be made to Nebraskaland National Bank or online at www.gofundme.com/jeffhedge.

The Mix 97.1 crew will be broadcasting live, so come help us support the Hedgcock family.
