SIRIUS XM Radio is partnering with the Entertainment
Industry Foundation’s Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) Campaign to broadcast
its “Just Stand Up” national fundraising event live on Friday,
September 5. With a focus of raising philanthropic dollars for
accelerating ground-breaking cancer research, the hour-long live
broadcast will feature a who’s who from the worlds of music, film,
television and sports, including the premiere performance of “Just
Stand Up,” the charity single recorded in support of SU2C that features
more than a dozen of the world’s most accomplished female recording
artists — a cast that includes Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige,
Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Ashanti,
Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, LeAnn Rimes, and
