An extraordinary line-up of actors, musicians, athletes and journalists have banded together for Stand Up To Cancer (www.standup2cancer.org ) the ground breaking initiative aimed at raising funds to accelerate cancer research and bring new therapies to patients more quickly in order to end cancer's reign as a leading cause of death.
Harnessing the power and influence of the media, many of the world’s most renowned entertainers have pledged their full support for this historic, nationally-televised program, simultaneously broadcast live and commercial-free on ABC, CBS and NBC on September 5, 2008 at 7 pm Denver time .
In addition, the Hollywood community has embraced Stand Up To Cancer en masse by supporting a host of creative projects across a wide array of platforms in an effort to ignite passion in the American people so they realize that significant advances in cancer treatment are within reach.
