Hilary Swank is following in the footsteps of fellow Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron by lending her support to the Saks Fifth Avenue Key To The Cure campaign.

The Million Dollar Baby star is backing a campaign that seeks to promote early detection of cancer.

Swank appears in a national public service announcement wearing a limited-edition Swarovski crystal-studded Diane von Furstenberg T-shirt, which was designed exclusively for the benefit of the charity.


The proceeds from the sales of the tops will be donated to more than 50 cancer research programs.

"I'm thrilled to be able to join the Entertainment Industry Foundation and Saks Fifth Avenue to bring attention the importance of early detection of breast and other women's cancers", the actress has recently said in an official statement.

"I hope everyone will buy a Key To The Cure t-shirt to help this very promising scientific research being funded through EIF's Women's Cancer Research Fund", Swank added.
