This Rocks: Stand Up To Cancer Telethon

September 6th, 2008 Written by: Seraphina· No Comments

If you weren’t too busy out getting smashed or just decided to stay in last night, hopefully you got to catch some great history going down in television and music. Last night, September 5th, all three TV networks ABC, NBC and CBS were more than grateful to give up their regular programming for the hour-long, commercial free fundraising show.

It’s nice to finally know that many of the big shots in entertainment are taking their assets and using them towards a good cause. Cancer has affected millions of people worldwide, and celebrities and the industry have not forgotten how everyone, including them, hurt from this too.

Appearances throughout the night ranged from Jennifer Aniston and Halle Berry to both our presidential candidates. The music was provided by a super star group of the most well known female singers from teen pop sensation, Miley Cyrus to R&B queen, Mary J. Blige. All the ladies performed their charity single, “Just Stand Up” to encourage friends, family, and viewers watching to take a stand and donate. The single is available on iTunes.

If you missed out last night, it’s not too late. You can buy the single to support charities involved with Stand Up To Cancer as well as learn more at their official website here.
