Erin Andrews wearing limited-edition SCREEN t-shirt in partnership with AstraZeneca for their "Get Body Checked Against Cancer" campaign.

The Get Body Checked Against Cancer campaign encourages people to take control of their health by talking with their doctors about their cancer risk factors and whether cancer screenings are right for them. The campaign supports Hockey Fights Cancer™, a joint initiative of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) powered by the V Foundation for Cancer Research.

A passionate advocate for cancer screenings, Andrews has inspired people nationwide to overcome the fear of diagnosis by sharing her own experience and motivating others to take control of their health. She joins a powerhouse roster of NHL players, coaches, staff and fans committed to encouraging the hockey community to talk to their doctors about their own risk factors, when they should get screened and supporting their loved ones to do the same.

Mohit Manrao, Senior Vice President, Head of US Oncology, AstraZeneca, said: “At AstraZeneca, we recognize that no individual or organization can fight cancer alone – it takes a team to achieve our ambition of one day eliminating cancer as a cause of death. Erin is an inspiration, and her unwavering dedication to raising awareness about routine screenings and empowering others to take charge of their health makes her the perfect teammate.”

As part of this partnership, AstraZeneca and Andrews are releasing SCREEN – a limited-edition t-shirt under the umbrella of her popular WEAR by EA brand. The exclusive item will feature the SCREEN logo and is designed to inspire people to get body checked against cancer. SCREEN apparel will be available on NHLshop.com and in the NHL Flagship Store in NYC while supplies last. Proceeds from the sales of SCREEN will go to the V Foundation for Cancer Research’s Hockey Fights Cancer Fund to support game-changing cancer research projects. To date, AstraZeneca has donated $500,000 to the V Foundation for Cancer Research.

“In 2016, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer after a routine annual exam and that experience showed me the importance of proactive healthcare. The new SCREEN piece will serve as a reminder, as well as a prompt for conversations with loved ones, to speak with a doctor,” says Erin Andrews, national sports personality and cancer survivor. “Together with AstraZeneca, I want to destigmatize the conversation around cancer screenings. Not all cancers are symptomatic, so it’s important to get routine screenings to help find cancers early before they have a chance to spread.”
