Stand Up To Cancer

Last week Stand Up To Cancer celebrated its first birthday and announced the 2009 SU2C Dream Teams. These five exciting projects will receive $73.6 million in funding from SU2C over the next three years. To learn more about the Dream Teams, check out SU2C Mag.

ABC, CBS and NBC covered the announcement on their morning shows. If you missed it, you can watch here:

In the past year, we've been awed and inspired by our SU2C community. You've shared your stories with us and with each other; you've launched over 30,000 stars in our Constellation and raised over $150,000 through team challenges. You joined us for our big show, helping raise over $100 million for translational research - without which none of this would be possible. Your generous contributions will support the Dream Teams' work, and we want to take a minute to thank you, again, for being a part of our community.

We're very proud of our first Dream Teams, but we know that this year was just the beginning. The battle is far from over, and there were many meritorious scientific proposals that we were unable to support this time around. Help us keep the research moving forward by spreading the word to friends and family or by making another donation - no amount is too small to make a difference.

Thanks again for helping make SU2C what it is today - we couldn't have done it without you!
