We are a cancer initiative started in 2008 by the Entertainment Industry Foundation that raises money and awareness for cancer research, mostly in the US and UK. Since launching, it has raised over $200,000. It is highly popularized with major celebrity backing and current TV partnerships. However, cancer is a touchy topic and efforts are personalized. Going forward, it aims to not just raise money but also erase the stigma of cancer through storytelling and building personal connections by launching a new "Stand Together" initiative to build a supportive community.
