About the Show

Two years after an historic fundraising telecast and the start of a groundbreaking grassroots movement, Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) will return to primetime television on September 10, 2010, at 8/7C, with a star-studded appeal to build continuing public support and donations for cutting-edge cancer research that translates at a rapid pace from the laboratory to treatments and technologies that benefit patients.

Similar to the landmark 2008 broadcast, this year’s telecast will feature live performances of legendary recording artists and stars from film, television and sports who will present content providing viewers with insights into cancer.  While the broadcast will honor the memory of those taken by the disease, it will focus on surviving cancer – on living a full life after being diagnosed with it.  In the United States alone this year, 1.4 million people will be diagnosed with cancer.

The 2008 telecast helped raise more than $100 million, and more than $83 million has since been committed to five multi-disciplinary “Dream Teams” of researchers from more than 50 institutions, as well as to 13 young innovative scientists who are undertaking high-risk, potentially high-reward projects to end the reign of cancer as a leading cause of death in the world today.
