ATLANTA, Feb. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — 2020 Radio Hall of Fame inductee and host of the hit ‘IRL’ podcast, Angie Martinez partners with the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the National Football League (NFL) Crucial Catch Super Bowl Sweepstakes to give one lucky fan the VIP experience of a lifetime at Super Bowl LVII in Arizona. NFL fans can enter the contest by heading to cancer.org/SUPERBOWL and donating as little as $10 to support ending cancer as we know it for everyone.
The winner of the Crucial Catch Super Bowl contest and one guest will receive round-trip airfare to Arizona from February 9-12, accommodations, two tickets to Super Bowl LVII, a chance to meet Angie Martinez, -pass to attend the exclusive Rolling Stone LIVE party, tickets to the NFL Honors show and other exclusive benefits.

Known as “The Voice of New York”, Angie Martinez is recognized as one of the most influential radio personalities in popular culture and media. With nearly 25 years of on-air experience, she has interviewed global icons from Derek Jeter to Beyoncé. She is also a New York Times bestselling author, actress, television host, Grammy-nominated entertainer, and brand spokesperson and activist for youth and health awareness.
“I’m so proud to be part of this year’s pageant. The cause is incredibly close to my heart,” said Angie Martinez. “Everyone’s small donation can have a big impact on the American Cancer Society’s work to prevent and treat cancer.”
Through Crucial Catch: Intercept Cancer, the NFL and the American Cancer Society (ACS) have partnered to fight cancer and save lives since 2009. Since 2012, money raised through Crucial Catch has funded Community Health Advocates from the American Cancer Society who implement national grants for Empowerment and Equity (CHANGE) grants. These grants help Federal Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and health systems in underfunded areas increase access to cancer screenings. Funding from Crucial Catch has contributed to over 600,000 screenings and reached over one million patients through education, screening reminders and patient navigation.
“We are deeply grateful for the NFL’s continued support of our work to improve the lives of cancer patients and their families,” said Dr. Karen Knudsen, CEO of the American Cancer Society. “Early detection of cancer saves lives. Delays in screening lead to cancers being diagnosed at later stages, which are more difficult to treat. An estimated 22 million people have canceled or missed their recommended screenings due to the pandemic of COVID-19, removing barriers to testing is a critical part of the playbook. Angie’s partnership in our Super Bowl contest will help us raise the critical funds needed to ensure everyone has the opportunity to prevent, detect, treat and survive cancer.
Last year, the Crucial Catch Super Bowl contest raised $100,000 for cancer screening and education in underserved communities. For more information, visit cancer.org/SUPERBOWL.
