AdMeTech Foundation was selected by a prestigious initiative of leaders of television and entertainment called Stand Up to Cancer.

Stand Up to Cancer is launching a new movement to attack cancer once and for all by pushing promising scientific breakthroughs to the finish.

Inspired to act by our own personal experiences with cancer, we recognize that we can no longer rely on the current system alone to give us the breakthroughs we need. So, we are calling on the public to help take matters into our own hands, investing in a revolution that will change the way scientists and clinicians work to understand and treat these diseases. Stand Up To Cancer is more than a rallying cry. It is a galvanizing force created to urgently move cancer research forward. This is where the end of cancer begins: when we unite together in one unstoppable movement and Stand Up To Cancer.
