Summary
- James Van Der Beek, 48, diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer in 2023
- Auctioning off personal TV memorabilia to pay for expensive treatment
- Items include outfit from Dawson's Creek premiere, prom necklace
In a bid to pay for his expensive cancer treatment, actor James Van Der Beek is auctioning off some of his most treasured TV memorabilia. The 48-year-old, who starred in the beloved 90s teen drama Dawson's Creek from 1998 to 2003, revealed last year that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal (bowel) cancer.
To help cover the costs of his treatment, Van Der Beek has teamed up with Propstore to sell off items from his personal collection. Dawson's Creek fans will have the chance to own the outfit he wore in the show's very first episode, which is expected to sell for up to £3,000. They can also bid on the necklace his on-screen character Dawson gave to girlfriend Joey (played by Katie Holmes) for prom, which could raise as much as £40,000.
