News Anchors, Celebrities to Stand Up to Cancer
May 20, 2010
Brian Williams, Katie Couric and Diane Sawyer are teaming up to Stand Up to Cancer for the second time in three years.
The charitable telecast, which raised $100 million in the fall of 2008, will air on September 10.
The inaugural broadcast’s lineup featured such A-list stars as Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Aniston, Ellen DeGeneres and Jennifer Garner.
“Stand Up To Cancer is a populist movement,” said Couric. “People of all ages are getting involved… Not only people who have cancer or who are dealing with it, but young people who want a cancer-free world in their future – we really think that’s finally attainable.”
Added Sawyer: “The broadcast is a way of saying, ‘Together, we can do this.’ And yes, we’re losing one person every minute, but 11 million survivors are out there; living proof that this can be done.”
Tune in September 10 and help raise money for this important cause.
