Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens Stand Up to Cancer in new PSA

"It is important for young people to be aware of the scope of the problem and the odds that they may face, both for their own future and for their loved ones," said Ziskin, co-founder and executive producer of the Stand Up To Cancer telecast. "This piece is about how it is never too soon to take a stand against these devastating and epidemic diseases."
 
The PSA sends viewers to standup2cancer.org, where young people can learn about about ways to reduce their cancer risks, including using sunscreen, quitting smoking and adding anti-cancer foods to their diets.
 
The TV special "Stand Up To Cancer" will return to prime time TV on September 10, 2010, at 8PM EST & PST / 7PM CT.  The one-hour fundraiser will be simulcast live and commercial-free on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, HBO, Discovery Health, E!, MLB Network, The Style Network, VH1, HBO Latino, Showtime, TV One, G4 and hosted by network news anchors Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer and Brian Williams.
