Stand Up To Cancer

On Saturday, SU2C celebrated the one-year anniversary of our televised fundraising event on CBS, NBC and ABC. That night, millions of Americans joined together to raise over $100 million for translational cancer research. We want to thank you, yet again, for being a part of SU2C. Your generous donations, your involvement and enthusiasm and support, have made our organization what it is today, just a short 365 days later.

We'd also like to pass along a few words from Marge Lees. Marge was watching the show that night, along with so many of you, and it inspired her to get her first-ever screening for colorectal cancer--a screening that resulted in a diagnosis and treatment. (You can learn more about her story here.) Now, a year later, she writes:

"Today is the anniversary of the Stand Up 2 Cancer show that saved my life. I just wanted to say thanks. I actually went to the MD who diagnosed me the other day, and he said had I waited until this year I would have been in real trouble. Because of Stand Up 2 Cancer and David Archuleta, my life is pretty good right now. Thanks again."

Marge has good reason to celebrate - and so do we! To check out just a bit of what we've done in the year since our inception, check us out on YouTube. And thank you all, one last time. We never could've done it without you.
