LOS ANGELES – Gators Alumna and Fox Sports Broadcaster Erin Andrews will become the first female recipient of the Pat Summerall Award Thursday during the Legends for Charity Annual Dinner benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Los Angeles.
The award, which is named after late legendary NFL broadcaster Pat Summerall, honors Andrew's career accomplishments and the inspiration she brings to her community, viewers and patient families at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
"It is a tremendous honor to be the first female recipient of the coveted Pat Summerall Award," Andrews told St.Jude.org. "Pat set the standard for all of us to follow in our business. To receive this award at this dinner that benefits St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a charitable organization near and dear to my heart will make this evening that much more special."
A 2000 graduate from UF's College of Journalism and Communications and former Gators Dazzler, Andrews currently provides sideline coverage to more than 56.4 viewers on FOX NFL Sunday, in addition to reporting for Thursday Night Football.
Andrews first became involved with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in 2013.
Thursday's program will honor Andrews' career with video tributes and guest speakers combined with a fundraiser for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Charissa Thompson, host of FOX NFL Kickoff, will emcee the event and ESPN's Chris Berman will present the award.
Events like Legends for Charity help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.
