Stand Up to Cancer

Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) is a groundbreaking nonprofit organization that aims to accelerate the pace of cancer research and bring effective treatments to patients quickly. Launched in 2008, SU2C takes a unique approach by fostering collaboration among top scientists across institutions, breaking down traditional barriers to innovation. By funding "Dream Teams" of researchers focused on specific cancer challenges, SU2C has helped drive major advances in cancer detection, treatment, and prevention. The organization also emphasizes public awareness and engagement, uniting communities, celebrities, and supporters to stand together in the fight against cancer and work toward one bold goal: turning every cancer patient into a long-term survivor.
