Simply put, Stand Up To Cancer’s goal is to end cancer’s reign as a leading cause of death by raising funds to accelerate research that will help more people diagnosed with cancer become long-term survivors.

SU2C is founded on the belief that in the field of cancer research there is a solid foundation and sufficient understanding of the basic science of cancer, and with the technologies available, now is the time to take that understanding to the next level by translating this knowledge to the clinic—to real advances in patient care and cancer prevention.

Dream Teams are multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional and collaborative groups of scientists that conduct novel, groundbreaking cancer research projects that address critical problems in patient care. Dream Teams are made up of the best scientists who are on the verge of critical discoveries that can provide direct patient benefit in the shortest time possible. Learn more about the SU2C Dream Teams and their projects here.

The Innovative Research Grants program is the second major funding commitment made by Stand Up To Cancer, with the goal of supporting the next generation of cancer research leaders. The projects funded all represent new approaches to the most important and challenging problems facing cancer researchers today.

Stand Up To Cancer is not supported in any way by Big Tobacco. We have a broad range of donors who support SU2C’s accelerated cancer research. In addition to individuals, SU2C’s donors and collaborators include foundations (including the foundations of major companies), organizations, philanthropists, and a wide range of public-spirited corporations.

That support has enabled SU2C to establish a groundbreaking new approach to cancer research. Because of the generosity and profound commitment of our donors, SU2C has funded 62 collaborative research teams, including 22 Dream Teams, as well as 46 Innovative Research Grants. These grant recipients include more than 1,200 researchers, representing more than 140 institutions. Since 2008, more than 180 clinical trials have been planned, launched, or completed by SU2C.

Stand Up To Cancer was created by a group of women whose lives have all been affected by cancer in profound ways. In the fall of 2007, they began working together to marshal the resources of the media and entertainment industries in the fight against this disease. SU2C was formally launched on May 27, 2008.

100% of public donations received by SU2C support Stand Up To Cancer’s collaborative cancer research programs. We have partnered with the prestigious American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) to provide scientific oversight and expert peer review, and administer Stand Up To Cancer grants.

If a donor writes a check to you instead of Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) for your fundraiser, please endorse the back of the check with your signature and add ‘Payable to SU2C.’ We will then provide a tax receipt to the account holder named on the check.

We do not recommend this for two reasons:

1. The IRS may consider this income and you could potentially be taxed.
2. Since the check is coming from you and not directly from your donors, your donors will not receive tax receipts for their contributions.

It is best to have each donor write a check payable to Stand Up To Cancer for their desired amount, which you can then collect and mail in at one time with the Fundraiser Check Donation form. SU2C will then be able to generate tax receipts for each donor.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept cash donations. However, if you receive cash donations from different donors at your fundraiser, please convert these to a cashier’s check and mail to the below address along with the Cashier Check Donation form. Be sure to include each donor’s amount donated and personal contact information (name/address) with the cashier’s check so we can provide a tax receipt to each donor.
