ABC, CBS and NBC Join Forces for Cancer Benefit: Stand Up To Cancer
On the first Friday night in September will happen a live, joint telethon benefiting cancer research from the networks ABC CBS and NBC.
From The New York Times:
Among those who encouraged the networks to put aside their competitive instincts, albeit temporarily, was Katie Couric, anchor of the “CBS Evening News,” who will appear on the fund-raiser alongside her principal rivals, Brian Williams of NBC and Charles Gibson of ABC.
All three have had immediate family members die of the disease, and another principal, Jeff Zucker, the president and chief executive of NBC and Ms. Couric’s former boss, is a colon cancer survivor.
The said benefit is being called Stand Up To Cancer.

I think that is absolutely fantastic. September is even Childhood Cancer awareness month. My oldest son had cancer. We need to take a stand to make people more aware. I will defiantly pass on the news to all that we are connected with.
