Stand Up To Cancer® (SU2C) has added a Christian music favorite to its ninth biennial roadblock televised fundraising special.
The telecast will feature a performance by CeCe Winans – joined by Nashville Community Gospel Choir alongside the Jonas Brothers, Noah Cyrus, Gavin DeGraw, Marcus King, Brothers Osborne, Jon Pardi, Jelly Roll, Dan + Shay. Each of these artists will lend their talents to help raise critical funds for cancer research.
The special will also include pre-taped segments featuring Kevin Bacon, Jamie Foxx, Tim McGraw, Zoe Saldaña, Keith Urban, and Reese Witherspoon. Grammy® Award-winning artist Sheryl Crow will serve as the evening's host and also perform, along with remarks by SU2C co-founder Katie Couric. Music icon Dolly Parton previously participated in a tune-in campaign to raise awareness for the Nashville telecast.
This year's show airs Friday, August 15, at 8 p.m. ET and PT / 7 p.m. CT, marking the first time the biennial special will be broadcast from Nashville, bringing SU2C's mission to the heart of Music City. The telecast will feature powerful stories from survivors whose lives were transformed by research that was made possible through donor support. Viewers will also hear from SU2C-funded researchers about recent breakthroughs in early detection and cancer treatment, along with the growing potential of AI to accelerate progress in the field.
The one-hour commercial-free special will air simultaneously on over 30 participating media platforms across the United States. All four major U.S. broadcast networks will carry the show, with broadcasters donating prime time slots to support the cause. The telecast will also be available to watch on-demand across multiple digital and streaming platforms, ensuring broad and flexible access to this one-night-only event.
