An Update from Stand Up to Cancer

From Stand Up to Cancer:

This week SU2C celebrates our second anniversary. Thanks to your support, in the two years since our launch in May of 2008, $73.6 million in funding has been awarded to five scientific Dream Teams and $9.7 million to 13 Innovative Research Grant projects. 100% of the money you've donated goes directly to groundbreaking, collaborative cancer research. But there's still more work to be done. Help celebrate another incredible year by continuing to invest in SU2C, and by sharing our progress and mission with friends and family. This is where the end of cancer begins.

What does standing Up2 cancer mean to you? In celebration of our September 10, 2010 Live Fundraising Special, which will air simultaneously on CBS, NBC, ABC and many cable networks, SU2C invites you to express yourself with a YouTube video, using Dave Stewart's "Stand Up To Cancer" anthem as your inspiration. It's Up2 you to sing it your way - you could win* a custom Takamine guitar, and your video may even be included in the show this September. Download the musical version of the song to record your own adaptation - the lyrics, basic melody and guitar chords are available for free at su2c.org - and post your video as a YouTube response to our PSA. Share your personal connection to cancer and spread the message that it's "Up2" all of us to end this disease.

Stand up and say what's on your mind with our new tees, created by our friends at A Lot To Say. These short-sleeved women's shirts are made of soft, ring-spun cotton and share SU2C's message in a fun and fashionable way. With five new styles - Together, Smokin', SU2C, Dream and Stand - everyone can have A Lot To Say about ending cancer now. Get yours at the SU2C Store:

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
