According to organizers, the event will also include “powerful stories from survivors whose lives were transformed by research that was made possible through donor support”. Julian Adams, Ph.D. and the SU2C president and CEO said, “We’re honored to bring this year’s telecast to Nashville and to celebrate the incredible stories of survivorship made possible by Stand Up To Cancer-funded research.” “The advancements we’re making are driven by the ongoing generosity of our donors and the dedication of cancer researchers across the world. We are deeply grateful to the entertainment community and our broadcast partners for once again coming together in support of our mission to help spotlight this critical work.”

Stand Up to Cancer hosts its benefit show every other year. In 2023, the event highlighted stars from film, television, sports, and journalism. Participants that year included Justin Timberlake, Elizabeth Banks, Jessica Biel, Don Cheadle, and Katie Couric. The show brought together major voices to raise awareness and support for cancer research and treatment. A SU2C co-founder, Couric, said at that time, “We started this movement in 2008 to save lives, and it is remarkable to see that in 15 years our scientists have accomplished this goal through breakthrough research that intercepts and treats cancer in ways we never thought possible.” “There is more work to do to cure cancer and every dollar counts; we will not stop until we make every cancer patient a long-term survivor.”
