2022 Honoree - Erin Andrews

NFL Reporter and TV personality Erin Andrews will be honored on March 5, 2022 by the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation during the 31st Annual Award of Excellence. Andrews will be recognized for her efforts to support people impacted by cancer, including spreading awareness about cervical cancer. Andrews was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2016 and is now cancer free. Her story, optimism, and strength have inspired many. 

Andrews got her start as a sports reporter at FOX Sports Florida in 2000, upon graduating from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Arts degree in telecommunications. She currently works on FOX Thursday Night Football broadcasts and Americas Game of the Week. A versatile broadcaster, Andrews contributes feature stories and sideline reports from FOX NFL's top game each week during the season. She has covered some of the biggest events in sports, including Super Bowl XLVIII, Super Bowl LI, the NFC Championship and Divisional round games, and MLB's All-Star Game and World Series. Prior to rejoining FOX Sports, she worked at ESPN for eight years. Andrews also co-hosts ABC's "Dancing With The Stars," and appeared on the 10th season, where she and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy placed third in the finals. 

The Award of Excellence recognizes individuals who capture the spirit of commitment and pursuit of excellence, which define the legendary Coach Lombardi and the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation. These honorees have the same desire as the foundation to prevent cancer, care for those fighting it, and find a cure. Funds raised during the event support cancer research and treatments.
