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, will air simultaneously on Friday night, Aug. 15, at 7 p.m., CDT on over 30 participating media platforms, including national TV networks ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX.

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

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.

Those who made their way inside for the taping saw performances by 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), as well as the host for the event, Sheryl Crow.
