Stand Up To Cancer on Friday Night; Make a Donation, Win TV on DVD
On Friday night (September 5, 2008), the big three networks are joining together to host a televised Stand Up To Cancer benefit show.
Those appearing and answering phones include Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba, Christina Applegate, Jennifer Aniston, Lance Armstrong, Halle Berry, Beyonce, Jack Black, Mary J Blige, Josh Brolin, Mariah Carey, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Jon Favreau, Fergie, America Ferrera, Sally Field, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Neil Patrick Harris, Salma Hayek, Scarlett Johansson, Masi Oka, Danica Patrick, Rihanna, Meryl Streep, Hilary Swank and Carrie Underwood, among many others.
In addition to making financial contributions of any amount online or via phone on Friday, there are a few entertaining options for doing the same. You can bid on celebrity experiences and personalized videos from the cast of Lost and other TV, film, music and sports stars. All proceeds benefit SU2C.
I have already placed an order for one of the above for a friend (details are hush hush until she receives it). Over on my Lost blog, I have the following contest in place and wanted to extend it to everyone.
If you make a donation of any amount or purchase one of those experiences/videos above from now through Sunday, simply send me an email or leave a comment below and your name will be put into a hat. The name I pull will receive an autographed Counting Crows iTunes gift card and a season of Lost (or your favorite show) on DVD.
Easy enough, right?
We all know someone who has been affected by cancer. Tune in on Friday. It’s time to stand up.
