Stand Up to Cancer, a one-hour, commercial-free special promoting the life-saving advances of cancer research, and to raise funds for new treatments and cures, was broadcast Friday Aug. 15 on more than 30 participating media platforms, including national TV networks ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX.

Viewers saw performances by host Sheryl Crow, as well as the Jonas Brothers, Noah Cyrus, Gavin DeGraw, Marcus King, Brothers Osborne, Jon Pardi, Jelly Roll, Dan + Shay and CeCe Winans (joined by Nashville Community Gospel Choir).

During the telecast, Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC) was highlighted and mentioned several times. During a segment on the role of artificial intelligence in cancer diagnosis and treatment, Ben Ho Park, MD, PhD, director of VICC, and Tae Hyun Hwang, PhD, professor of Surgery, both were among those featured. In addition, Brothers Osborne asked everyone from VICC who was in attendance to stand up for a round of applause, and, in a taped segment, Keith Urban mentioned VICC and Vanderbilt Health.

The one-hour broadcast special was taped at The Pinnacle in downtown Nashville on Aug. 9. Before taping the show, a pre-taping party was attended by approximately 1,000 VUMC and Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center physicians, nurses and staff and their guests. Pictures from that event are here.
