Featuring an immense array of beloved and exciting stars of entertainment and showcasing tremendous performances, Stand Up To Cancer will empower and inspire countless people across the globe on September 10th, giving us all a great way to support the fight against cancer while providing essential knowledge in the form of stirring messages and images of hope, grace, scientific and medical progress, individual heroism and united activism; and; WHEREAS, The Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) telecast of September 1Oth will raise funds that will accelerate innovative cancer research. The broadcast is dedicated to the 12 million U.S. cancer survivors, illustrating how groundbreaking research can change the tide in the fight against the disease. The live, one-hour fundraising event will be simulcast commercial-free on ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Bio, Current TV, Discovery Health, E!, G4, HBO, HBO Latino, MLB Network, mun2, Showtime, Smithsonian Channel, The Style Network, TV One and VH1 and hosted by network news anchors Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer and Brian Williams. The broadcast will air in 195 countries, as well as on the Armed Forces Network. The stars who are participating are simply too numerous to mention here, but they will entertain and inform and answer phone calls from grassroots donors. Also featured on the program will be cancer survivors; and WHEREAS, Every day, cancer kills 1,600 American, or one per minute. This year, more than 560,000 Americans and eight million people worldwide will succumb to the disease. One in three women and one in two men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes. This is simply unacceptable. In the fall of 2007, a group of women who have been profoundly affected by cancer began working together to marshal the resources of the media and entertainment industries in the fight against cancer. Thus began a remarkable grassroots movement, spurred on and supported by the first Stand Up to Cancer telecast, two years ago. The 2008 telecast helped raise over $100 million. This tremendous Stand Up To Cancer movement now returns to prirnetirne TV on September 10, 2010, at 8PM EST & PST/7PM CT. Executive producing this telecast, as she did in 2008, will be Laura Ziskin, an SU2C founding member and cancer survivor; and WHEREAS, To date, five multi-disciplinary "Dream Teams" of researchers from more than 50 institutions, as well as 13 young innovative scientists who are undertaking high-risk yet potentially high-reward projects, have received SU2C funding. (The five Dream Teams are the Epigenetics, Pancreatic Cancer, P13K Pathway, Circulator Tumor Cell (CTC) Chip, and Breast Cancer Dream Teams; on the September 10 broadcast, updates will be provided on the work of the five Stand Up To Cancer Dream Teams, and Dr. San jay Gupta, CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent, will report on other new medical developments.) SU2C brings together these scientists from different disciplines across various institutions to work collaboratively, rather than competitively, at a critical time in the field of cancer research; and WHEREAS, The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), which consists of more than 32,000 scientists engaged in the fight against cancer, is Stand Up To Cancer's sole scientific partner. The AACR, the oldest and largest scientific organization in the world focusing on every aspect of high-quality, innovative cancer research from the bench to the bedside, is responsible for administering and managing the grants, and providing scientific oversight in conjunction with the SU2C Scientific Advisory Committee, led by Nobel Laureate Phillip A. Sharp, Ph.D., institute professor at the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and WHEREAS, Stand Up To Cancer is a program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (ElF), a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization. SU2C raises funds to hasten the pace of groundbreaking translational research that can get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives; its star-studded television special builds continuing public support and donations for cutting-edge cancer research that translates at a rapid pace from the laboratory to treatments and technologies benefitting patients. One-hundred percent of all donations received from the public will go directly to cancer research. Viewers will have the ability to donate via a dedicated phone line, the web, or through text. Fundraising and public awareness will also be abetted by a pre-show promotion hosted by Cat Deeley, and by pre-show promotion and extended play featured on numerous on-line portals and destination sites (which will all also stream the on-hour special online), including ABC, ABC News, AOL, Bing, CBS, CBS News, Crackle, Discovery Health, E!
