ABC, NBC, CBS Unite To Raise Money For Cancer Research

Stand Up To Cancer, the charitable initiative launched last year and aimed at getting new cancer treatments to patients as quickly as possible, will announce today the first round of three-year grants totaling $73.6 million to five research "dream teams."

The broadcast, "Stand Up To Cancer," will air on Sept. 5 on ABC, CBS and NBC and will feature live performances by recording artists and movie and film stars who will, along with the evening news anchors from each of the networks, deliver information about potentially life-saving cancer research.
