Stand Up to Cancer airs tonight
By Matt /Sep. 10, 2010 / Comments
Tonight at 8:00pm EST, anti-cancer telethon Stand Up to Cancer will air commercial free on all major networks including CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, and many more. The program will be on the air until 9:00pm EST and will include performances from the Edge, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, and many more including Billie Joe.
This year in the United States alone, 1.4 million people will be diagnosed with cancer. To help them lead full lives after diagnosis, Stand Up To Cancer will bring out the stars to help raise funds to fight this scourge. Two years ago, the fundraising telecast aired across more than 170 countries, raised more than $100 million and started a groundbreaking grassroots movement to build public support for cancer research. This year they hope to go even bigger.
100% of the donations from the telethon go directly to cancer research. This is a really awesome thing so you guys should call in tonight to donate or you can do so online by clicking here. I can't wait to see what Billie performs and I'm especially glad that he is doing it for this great cause.
We hope to have video(s) up of Billie's performance(s) soon after they air for you guys to watch.
