In a powerful fusion of music and philanthropy, some of today’s most celebrated artists are stepping onto the stage not just to perform, but to make a difference. Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) returns for its ninth biennial fundraising special on Friday, August 15 at 8 p.m. ET this time, broadcasting live for the first time from Nashville, the heart of American music.
Headlining the inspiring evening are Jelly Roll, Jonas Brothers, CeCe Winans, and Dan + Shay, alongside performances from Noah Cyrus, Gavin DeGraw, Marcus King, Brothers Osborne, and Jon Pardi. Their talents are rallying around a vital cause: raising critical funds for groundbreaking cancer research, early detection, and treatment advancements.
A Nashville Night with Purpose
Set at The Pinnacle, a renowned Nashville venue, the special promises both emotional resonance and unforgettable performances. Sheryl Crow will host the hour-long event, with remarks from SU2C co-founder Katie Couric, and awareness support from none other than Dolly Parton, who previously led a tune-in campaign to spotlight the event.
Viewers can also expect heartfelt pre-taped messages from Kevin Bacon, Jamie Foxx, Tim McGraw, Zoe Saldaña, Keith Urban, and Reese Witherspoon. Alongside powerful musical moments, the broadcast will highlight moving survivor stories and real breakthroughs in the cancer fight.
A National Effort, A Global Message!
The SU2C special will air across over 30 major U.S. media platforms, including all four primary broadcast networks, thanks to their donated time slots a rare and meaningful gesture that underscores the importance of the mission. It will also stream across multiple digital platforms to maximize accessibility and reach.
Behind the scenes, the event is co-produced by Done + Dusted and Stand Up To Cancer, with creative oversight by executive producers David Jammy, Liz Kelly, Pamela Oas Williams, Lisa Paulsen, Rod Essig, Kevin Yorn, and Rick Yorn. Directing the live show is James Merryman, while the night’s sound will be led by Derek Wells, a two-time ACM Guitar Player of the Year.
More Than a Show.. It’s a Stand!
As the fight against cancer continues globally, this Nashville edition of SU2C represents more than a star-studded lineup; it's a collective stand for hope, healing, and progress. And for fans tuning in, it’s a reminder that music can still be one of the strongest forces for change.
Be sure to tune in on August 15 because this time, the music heals!!
