More than a dozen young Hollywood stars, including Zachary Levi of “Chuck,” Clark Duke of “Greek” and Naya Rivera of “Glee” have joined forces for a public service announcement in support a cause that’s recently become close to my heart–innovative cancer research.

Zac Efron, Dakota Fanning, Andrew Garfield, Vanessa Hudgens, Logan Lerman, Kristen Bell, Jon Heder, Aubrey Plaza, Sofia Vassilieva, Olivia Munn, Donald Faison, Aaron Yoo and William Moseley also appear in the Stand Up To Cancer “Change The Odds” PSA that launched Tuesday online. Marc Webb (“(500) Days of Summer”) and Rich Lee co-directed the PSA.

It will be featured on the Stand Up To Cancer telethon airing at 7 p.m. Sept. 10 on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, HBO, Discovery Health, E!, MLB Network, The Style Network, VH1, HBO Latino, Showtime, TV One and G4. Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer and Brian Williams will host.

Stand Up To Cancer works to raise funds for research. According to a press release: “The primary goal of SU2C is to raise funds for groundbreaking translational research to accelerate the delivery of new therapies to patients, getting them from the ‘bench to the bedside’ as quickly as possible. SU2C brings together scientists from different disciplines across various institutions to work collaboratively, rather than competitively, at a critical time in the field of cancer research.”
