Stand Up To Cancer Hosts Ninth Biennial Televised Fundraiser From Nashville

Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) is set to air its ninth biennial fundraising special from Nashville on August 15, marking the first time the event broadcasts from Music City. The one-hour, commercial-free telecast will feature performances by the Jonas Brothers, Jelly Roll, Dan + Shay, CeCe Winans, and others, with Sheryl Crow serving as host and performer. The special will also include pre-taped segments from celebrities such as Kevin Bacon, Jamie Foxx, Tim McGraw, Reese Witherspoon, and Keith Urban, alongside remarks by SU2C co-founder Katie Couric. Dolly Parton has previously supported the event through a tune-in campaign.
