Stand Up to Cancer

Stand Up to Cancer is an event style television program that serves as a massive fund raiser to help provide financial assistance to combat an often deadly disease. The research and technology needed to develop new therapies, medications, and treatments for cancer often requires massive amounts of cash, and this special event uses the clever wit of various stand-up comedians and other types of celebrities to entertain viewers while keeping the dream of the search for a cure alive. Clever, hilarious, and often heart touching, the program lets viewers change lives while being entertained and distracted for a short period of time.
