Have you ever asked yourself if you could save a life? Well today on the morning news programs on ABC, NBC, and CBS, the evening news anchors (Charles Gibson, Brian Williams, and Katie Couric) teamed up to announce the joining of the three networks to donate one hour of commercial-free prime-time for a national televised fundraiser to fight cancer. The simulcast entitled "Stand Up to Cancer" airs on September 5. Stand Up to Cancer is a new initiative that will raise money and sponsor innovative approaches to fighting cancer. Now you don't have to wait until September to help the cause, you can start up your fundraising team today, by logging on to www.standup2cancer.org. The website includes a section where you can launch a personalized star in honor of someone you know or knew with cancer. And you can set up this out of this world memorial all for the price of one dollar. All of the donated money raised, goes to continuing the research needed to win the fight against cancer. So while you may not be saving a life today, your donation helps bring hope to the world of tomorrow.
Says the mission statement on the website, "This is where the end of cancer begins: when we unite in one unstoppable movement and Stand Up To Cancer."
