and speaking of stand up to cancer, did you watch the telecast last night? did you donate? did you help find a cure? did you save lives? did you stand up to cancer. there’s still time. click here to donate or text STAND to 4020 to give $10.
in seven days stand up 2 cancer will return to primetime. on september 10, 2010, at 8pm eastern and pacific, and 7pm central the one-hour fundraising event will be simulcast live and commercial-free on abc, cbs, fox, nbc, bio, discovery health, e!, g4, hbo, hbo latino, mlb network, mun2, showtime, smithsonian channel, the style network, tv one, and vh1. it doesn’t matter which network you choose, as long as you choose to watch.
the 2008 telecast was viewed in more than 170 countries and helped raise over $100 million. just like the 2008 broadcast, this year’s telecast will feature live performances by legendary recording artists and presentations by stars from film, television and sports, presenting content that offers viewers insights into cancer.
su2c aims to build continuing public support and donations for cutting-edge cancer research. 100% of all donations received from the public will go directly to cancer research. viewers will be able to donate via phone, internet or text. it doesn’t matter how you choose to donate, as long as you donate.
in fact, you can donate directly through my stand up 2 cancer team right here, right now. my team has raised nearly $6000. nearly.
you can choose to make a difference today. you can can choose to make a difference on september 10th. i hope you’ll choose both. but it doesn’t matter which day you choose, as long as you stand up 2 cancer.
i need a new blog project! in my head it seemed original, but come to find out it isn’t. no, not one bit.
on facebook you can find a bunch of bloggers telling su2c what they stand for. shown here is brad from cancer is boring. (brad, i very much agree.)
nevertheless, i’d like you to send me your pictures – here’s the twist – of you in your standup2cancer t-shirts telling me for what, whom or why you’re standing up. i’ll add your photos to the help me make a stand page, much like the locks of love page, and pimp your blog, store, cd release… you name it.
so, go on, get busy! go to the su2c shop at cafepress and order your shirt. then send me your photos of you in said shirt with your sign and whatever info you’d like published alongside your photo.
and remember, cafepress fulfills su2c orders at a 25% discount, enabling su2c to direct the discounted monies towards cancer research!
today is the day i start my journey on the road to battle, my second battle, against hodgkin’s lymphoma. i’m asking you, my friends, my family, my neighbors, my husband’s co-workers, my best friend’s school, my stylist’s salon, my doctors and nurses, my blogosphere cohorts, my readers, to join me. walk alongside me, hold my hand and help my family as we once again stand up to cancer.
in my previous post, i mentioned the su2c.org team i started. have you joined yet? have you donated? did you help spread the word?
i’m asking for your blog posts, your tweets, your plurks, your stumbles and diggs. email everyone you know. i need you to. you. i need your help.
last year at this time our family probably wouldn’t have sat in front of the tv together watching this fundraiser.
i’m one of those people to your left or right. i’m one of those people that you can stand up to cancer for.
whatchoo talkin' 'bout?
