Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) today announced more than $123.6 million has been pledged collectively so far in connection with the star-studded Sept. 7 “roadblock” fundraising telecast in the United States and Canada.
The funds pledged toward the SU2C scientific model will be directed to collaborative research programs utilizing SU2C’s scientific oversight in both the United States and Canada.
“Having more than 70 broadcast and cable networks and streaming and social platforms donate the time to air the show is record-breaking for SU2C, and we are profoundly grateful for their commitment,” said Sherry Lansing, a member of the Stand Up To Cancer Council of Founders and Advisors (CFA) and member and past chairperson of the board of directors of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization of which Stand Up To Cancer is a division. “This was our best-ever fundraising special. The more than $123.6 million pledged will support extraordinary new research programs that will save lives.”
