If you turned on the national news September 5th, you might have been surprised to see all 3 major network anchors broadcasting from the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. Putting their usually intense competition for ratings aside for the night, Katie Couric, Brian Williams and Charlie Gibson joined forces in support of a higher priority...putting an end to cancer!
Together the anchors hosted a historic hour-long telecast, shown commercial free on the 3 major networks and in more than 170 countries. The telecast raised more than $100 million to support a new initiative called "Stand Up To Cancer" founded this past May.
To learn more about it, you can click on the title of this post or go to www.standup2cancer.org
You can buy a "star" for one dollar in honor of loved ones or friends (I've done this and it is a gratifying experience).
Stand Up To Cancer is bring people together to give researchers the resources that they need to launch an all-out assault on cancer.
