Top stars from the worlds of entertainment, sports, science, and industry will come together for a very special night in an unprecedented campaign to stop the scourge of cancer. The commercial-free, one-hour program will air simultaneously on NBC, CBS, and ABC with the goal of raising significant contributions for research, awareness, and patient advocacy. Stand Up To Cancer is a unique collaboration between the American Association for Cancer Research and the Entertainment Industry Foundation. It was founded on the belief that there is now sufficient knowledge of the basic science behind cancer-–and that technologies are available now that can translate this knowledge into real advances in treatment and prevention.
Cancer takes one person every minute. They are our brothers, our sisters, our fathers and mothers, our husbands and wives, our best friends, our children, ourselves. Stand Up To Cancer is launching a new movement to attack cancer once and for all by pushing promising scientific breakthroughs to the finish.
The one-hour special, Stand Up to Cancer airs Friday, September 5th on NBC, CBS and ABC, beginning at 7:00p.m. CDT. For more information, visit the show's website, http://www.nbc.com/Movies_Specials_More/Stand_Up_To_Cancer/
