Survivor Teams Up with Stand Up to Cancer
Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) is joining forces with Survivor on CBS by issueing the “Challenge The Odds” Team Challenge. Stand Up To Cancer Ambassador and winner of Survivor: Africa, Ethan Zohn, whose Hodgkin’s lymphoma is in remission, appeared on CBS News’s The Early Show this morning to announce the partnership and his new role as spokesperson for the Survivor team’s SU2C fundraising efforts.
The SU2C Teams are a year-round fundraising program that offers a unique community where everyone is challenged to join an existing team or create a new one, which can honor a loved one or just raise funds for the fight. Periodically, Stand Up To Cancer runs online fundraising challenges, such as our current Challenge The Odds campaign, which will run from August 17-September 1. One hundred percent of contributions received from the public will go directly to research. The top fundraising teams will be highlighted during the nationally televised Stand Up To Cancer broadcast event on September 10 and the winning team captain may have the opportunity to Skype with a celebrity on-air.
