In addition to educating customers about cancer facts and statistics, individuals shopping at any CVS/pharmacy location can make a $1 or $3 donation that will go toward SU2C's collaborative cancer research model. Known as the Dream Team approach, researchers from different institutions and disciplines come together in an effort to bring cancer therapies and treatments discovered in the laboratory to patients suffering from the disease.
Donations, which can also be made online at the CVS website, will be accepted through Nov. 28.
CVS/pharmacy is a division of CVS Health. CVS/pharmacy's fundraising campaign is part of a three-year, $10 million commitment by CVS Health to SU2C.
"We're so proud to collaborate with Stand Up To Cancer to positively impact people living with cancer," CVS/pharmacy President Helena Foulkes said. "Joining our colleagues and customers in supporting this groundbreaking research is a great extension of CVS Health's purpose of helping people on their path to better health."
Since its inception 2008, SU2C has raised over $370 million than in funds to accelerate innovative cancer research in order to get new therapies to patients in a timely manner and save lives.
CVS Health is reinventing pharmacy to have a more active, supportive role in health care.
