Stand Up To Cancer® (SU2C) raises funds to accelerate the pace of research to get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives now. SU2C, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was established by media and entertainment leaders who utilize these communities’ resources to engage the public in supporting a new, collaborative model of cancer research, to increase awareness about cancer prevention, and to highlight progress being made in the fight against the disease. As of May, 2023, more than 3000 scientists representing more than 210 institutions are involved in SU2C-funded research projects.
