The Super Fans know that at the end of every season ofSurvivor, items from that season go up for auction with the proceeds benefitting the charity Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C, informally). ButSurvivor’sinvolvement with the organization branches far beyond only that fan-inspired initiative.

Since 2010,Survivorand SU2C have upheld a long-standing collaboration inclusive of huge fundraising efforts like the auctions, co-branded merchandise, fundraising team challenges, and a 5K mud run—to name a few. On top of that, previousSurvivorwinners have acted as SU2C ambassadors and used their own stories to help raise money for the organization.

Ethan Zohnis a Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor as well as the Sole Survivor ofSurvivor: Africa. He’s lent his voice to the awareness campaigns as well asSurvivor: Millennials vs. Gen XwinnerAdam Kleinwho told his story of his mom—who passed away from lung cancer—during his season. He even partnered with SU2C and CBS during his season’s live finale to boost donations; that campaign alone raised more than $360,000.
