James Van Der Beek is using his star power to support cancer patients like himself. On Friday, November 22, the 47-year-old actor, who recently announced he was battling colorectal cancer, shared via Instagram that he was selling signed jerseys in honor of the beloved 1999 sports film Varsity Blues — he starred as football player Jonathan "Mox" Moxon.

Actor James Van Der Beek said he is selling signed “Varsity Blues” merchandise to help families struggling with the cost of cancer treatments, following his revelation earlier this month of his own cancer diagnosis.

James Van Der Beek has opened up about new details regarding his health a month after going public with his Stage 3 colorectal cancer. The Dawson’s Creek alum recently appeared on Good Morning America for his first live television interview with Robin Roberts since revealing his cancer diagnosis to People magazine.

The “Dawson’s Creek” alum is set to appear in “The Real Full Monty” — a two-hour special dedicated to raising awareness for prostate, testicular and colorectal cancer testing and research — weeks after sharing with the world he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2023.
