CARRIE UNDERWOOD AMONG STAR-STUDDED LINE-UP
FOR “STAND UP TO CANCER” CHARITY SINGLE AND TV BROADCAST

ABC, CBS & NBC SIMUL-CAST THIS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5

Nashville- (Sept. 3, 2008) Three-time Grammy winner Carrie Underwood has joined Mariah Carey, Beyoncé , Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, and more, in recording the charity single “Just Stand Up,” with all proceeds from the single being donated to the Stand Up To Cancer charity effort. The all-star line-up of female artists will debut “Just Stand Up” for television audiences during the Sept. 5th “Stand Up To Cancer” fund-raising event. The one-hour commercial-free special will be broadcast simultaneously on ABC, CBS and NBC networks.

“It seems that everyone has been touched by cancer these days, whether it be a personal experience, a family member or friend, or their families,” says Underwood. “If by participating in this charity effort I entice just one person to give funds for cancer research, then it will be so worthwhile.”

The “Just Stand Up” single is available for purchase exclusively on the iTunes Store and was produced by Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds and Antonio “L.A.” Reid.
