The actor, recently diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer, is donating proceeds to support families facing the financial burden of treatment, including his own.

James Van Der Beek, 47, revealed his stage 3 colorectal cancer diagnosis last month and is undergoing treatment with cautious optimism about his recovery.
To mark the 25th anniversary of the 1999 film 'Varsity Blues,' he is selling limited-edition jerseys featuring his character's name and number, priced at $40 for unsigned and $80 for autographed versions.
Van Der Beek announced that 100% of his net proceeds will go toward helping families, including his own, manage the high costs of cancer care.
