Stand Up To Cancer - Christina Applegate

In September 2008, Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), a charitable program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, brought together media, entertainment, and philanthropic leaders united by a shared commitment to cancer research.

The inaugural commercial-free primetime broadcast aired simultaneously on NBC, CBS, and ABC. Brian Williams, Katie Couric, and Charles Gibson shared one set for an unprecedented national event that helped raise more than $100 million for translational cancer research, moving promising discoveries from the laboratory toward patients.

At the event, Christina Applegate wore Alex Woo’s Open Heart Necklace and Little Letter Question Mark. A breast cancer survivor, Christina founded Right Action for Women to help individuals at increased risk for breast cancer access essential screenings when cost or lack of insurance stands in the way.
