Stand Up to Cancer: And the Fundraising Total (So Far) Is...
Here’s some happy news to start off your week: Stand Up to Cancer will announce today that their biennial telecast has raised $111 million in pledged donations so far, up from $109 million in 2014. The telecast, which was executive produced by Bradley Cooper and broadcast live from Los Angeles, was aired simultaneously on 60 networks and streaming services.
All of the money raised by the SU2C special will be go toward supporting “collaborative, translational cancer research” programs. (You can read more about where the money goes at the official website.)
If you haven’t pledged, it’s not too late: In the U.S., SU2C is still accepting donations at www.su2c.org and at 1-888-90-STAND (78263). And you can watch the full broadcast — featuring dozens of celebrity appearances (Ed Helms, Emma Stone, Eric Stonestreet, Eva Longoria, Jon Hamm, Jussie Smollett, Katherine Heigl, Kathy Bates, Kevin Hart, Kristen Wiig, Laverne Cox, Matthew McConaughey, Mayim Bialik, Rob Lowe, Shannen Doherty, and many more) and musical performances including Keith Urban, Dierks Bentley, and Céline Dion — right here:
