"Vegas Golden Knights star Shea Theodore helped launch a new mammogram program with the Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada.
Theodore took part in a ceremony Monday to launch the "Mammo Cup" patch, an initiative that intends to get as many women in Southern Nevada to have their annual mammograms as possible.
At designated locations, women can receive a limited edition patch that can be worn on a jersey or collected as a keepsake.
The ceremony also announced $100,000 in new funding for Kay's Power Play, launched last fall in memory of Kay Darlington, Theodore's grandmother and a breast cancer patient.
Theodore has also been active in cancer research and awareness since he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2019.
The Vegas Golden Knights Foundation donated $50,000, which included funding from the team's jersey auction during the Hockey Fights Cancer game.
The other $50,000 came from a donation by Theodore and from Comprehensive's $500 per-point pledge based on Theodore's 42 points during this past season.
