Let’s Stand Up To Cancer Together

Bringing the strength of our communities to the fight against cancer

When we discovered a charitable initiative dedicated to accelerating the development of new cancer therapies and saving lives through unique, innovative solutions, we began looking for ways to support it immediately.

Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) is a groundbreaking initiative created to accelerate innovative cancer research that will get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives now.

While most cancer research has been traditionally done by individual researchers, Stand Up To Cancer's funding model requires leading cancer researchers to collaborate across institutions and disciplines.
By pooling their knowledge and resources, they’re working together to translate scientific advances into new treatments that can help patients as quickly as possible.

SU2C Banking

Inspired by Stand Up To Cancer's dedication, we came up with a new way to fund this incredibly important project—Stand Up To Cancer^® Credit¹ and Debit Cards.²

With these cards and thanks to our community's participation in other Fifth Third SU2C promotions, we’ve been able to contribute over $5,000,000 since 2013. We look forward to increasing contributions in the years to come.
