Stand Up to Cancer

THIS IS A TEST CAPTION FROM

NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE.

WELCOME TO "STAND UP TO"

"CANCER" 2018.

TONIGHT, HOLLYWOOD'S BIGGEST

STARS PUT ASIDE OUR EGOS AND

FOCUS ON OTHERS BECAUSE FOR TEN

YEARS, "STAND UP TO CANCER" HAS

BEEN FOCUSED ON FUNDING ON

GROUNDBREAKING CANCER TREATMENT

AND SAVING LIVES.

AND IT ALL STARTED WITH...

ME.

I CAME UP WITH THE IDEA FOR

"STAND UP TO CANCER."

I WAS STANDING BEHIND A GUY AT

THE DELI BECAUSE HE KEPT

SHORTING ME ON SO LAME.

I SAID TO MYSELF WHAT IF I USED

THIS ENERGY TO DEFEAT CANCER.

11 YEARS AGO, I WAS AT

BURNING MAN AND I SAW PEOPLE

STANDING WHICH GAVE ME THE

VISION RIGHT THEN, STAND UP TO

CANCER.

NONE OF THAT WAS TRUE.

IT'S THE ONLY THING I

REMEMBER.

THAT WOLF OF WALL STREET, IT

WAS ACTUALLY MODELED AFTER ONE I

DID FOR "STAND UP TO CANCER"

THE ORIGINAL NAME WAS "STAND"

"UP TO CANCER" BY PUTTING

TOGETHER DREAM TEAMS OF DOCTORS

AND SCIENTISTS WHO WILL DEVELOP

AMAZING CURES AND I SAID THAT'S

A LOT FOR THE MOUTH.

I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO SAID

THEY NEEDED A THEME SONG.

"STAND UP TO CANCER"!

IF THEY WANTED TO RAISE MONEY

BY SELLING COOKIES.

I WAS LIKE ARE YOU CRAZY?

NO MATTER WHO HAD THE IDEA OR

WHO GETS THE CREDIT.

FOR TEN YEARS I'VE

SPEARHEADED THIS INCREDIBLE

ORGANIZATION AND NOW I'M NOT

JUST KATHY BATES ACADEMY AWARD

WINNER.

I'M KATHY BATES, CANCER IS

WORT

NIGHTMARE, ACADEMY AWARD WINNER,

BAD ASS.

I STILL MAKE TIME TO OVERSEE

ALL THE INCREDIBLE, DOPE

RESEARCH THAT MY MEDICAL HOMIES

ARE ROLLING OUT ACROSS THE GLOBE

GLOBE.

WITHOUT FUNDING, NONE OF THIS

WOULD BE POSSIBLE.

WHICH IS WHY WE TURN TO...

HIGH.

I FAMOUSLY PLAYED AN ADVERTISING

EXECUTIVE ON TELEVISION AS WELL

AS REPRESENT SEVERAL MARQUEE

BRANDS THROUGHOUT MY CAREER.

I KNOW A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT

ASKING PEOPLE FOR MONEY.

IT GOES A LITTLE SOMETHING LIKE

THIS.

GIVE US SOME MONEY!

START GIVING WHATEVER YOU

CAN, ALWAYS REMEMBER... "STAND"

"UP TO CANCER" WAS 100% OF

JENNIFER GARNER'S IDEA.

LIFE FROM LOS ANGELES, THIS

IS "STAND UP TO CANCER"

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE

WELCOME MATT DAMON.

TEN YEARS AGO IS WHEN THE

DREAM BEGAN, A DREAM THOUGHT TO

BE TOO BIG, TOO BOLD, TOO

RADICAL, AND REVOLUTIONARY.

A DREAM THAT BY WORKING

TOGETHER, WE COULD TURN EVERY

CANCER PATIENT INTO A LONG-TERM

SURVIVOR.

BECAUSE OF YOU, BECAUSE OF THE

NEW TREATMENTS BEING CREATED,

BECAUSE OF THE WAY "STAND UP TO"

"CANCER" CHANGED TO THE OF CANCER

RESEARCH, WE ARE TURNING THAT

BIG, BOLD, RADICAL,

REVOLUTIONARY DREAM INTO A

REALITY THAT'S CHANGING OUR

WORLD.

STAGE, THEY'RE THE ONES GETTING

THE APPLAUSE.

TONIGHT I'M HERE AND THEY ARE

ALL HERE TO CELEBRATE YOU AND

PROGRESS POSSIBLE.
