Rashida Jones is scheduled to appear at the 2010 Stand Up To Cancer event in Los Angeles. The telethon will be aired on September 10, 2010 at 8PM – all proceeds from the telethon benefit the Stand Up 2 Cancer Foundation. The one-hour fundraising event will be simulcast live and commercial-free on ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Bio, Discovery Health, E!, G4, HBO, HBO Latino, MLB Network, mun2, Showtime, Smithsonian Channel, The Style Network, TV One, and VH1.


Rashida was a part of the “We Are The World” remake that was recorded yesterday! The song was re-recorded with over 70 artists to help benefit the people of Haiti and to help with the earthquake relief there.

The song will be able for purchase on February 12th and will also air on NBC February 12, during the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

ABC News has a video from the recording session, which you can view below.

Some of you may wonder why Rashida is involved? Her father Quincy Jones and musician Lionel Richie, originally wrote the song 25 years ago and Quincy is also producing the track… And we all know Rashida does sing too! :wink:

Make sure you purchase the track on February 12th to help send support to the people of Haiti!


Rashida is now a part of the Stand Up 2 Cancer campaign! You can see her PSA below and learn more about the organization at StandUp2Cancer.org
