FanDuel Supports NFL Crucial Catch to Help Fight Cancer

In underserved communities across America, healthcare barriers can often delay the diagnosis of cancer. Early detection can significantly improve a patient’s outcome, making access to cancer screenings essential in the battle against the disease.

The American Cancer Society has been at the forefront of this cause, bringing decades of expertise in cancer research, patient support, and community outreach. The NFL partnered with the organization in 2009 to start Crucial Catch, raising more than $35 million and expanding awareness for cancer prevention.

FanDuel and NFL Crucial Catch

FanDuel is proud to support the Crucial Catch initiative to help expand access to early detection and treatment through a donation to the American Cancer Society and introducing a sweepstakes to encourage others to get involved.

“Crucial Catch strongly aligns with FanDuel's commitment to strengthening individuals and communities by expanding access to cancer screenings and improving overall community health outcomes," said Keita Young, Vice President of Community Impact at FanDuel. "We are proud to collaborate with the NFL and American Cancer Society because we believe that when we come together, our collective impact is even greater."

For FanDuel, the decision to support Crucial Catch reflects a broader philosophy about our leadership in the sports industry. We understand that operating in the sports ecosystem comes with the opportunity—and responsibility—to support programs that can positively impact our community.

By working with trusted leaders around important causes, we can create meaningful change that reaches more people and, in this case, save more lives.

“Addressing gaps in cancer screening is essential to improving cancer outcomes nationwide,” said Dr. Laura Makaroff, Senior Vice President of Cancer Prevention at the American Cancer Society. “Funds raised through Crucial Catch enable us to collaborate directly with communities and provide the targeted support they need.”
