Tonight (Sep. 7) several networks will be airing the third annual Stand Up To Cancer Telethon, a star-studded special raising awareness and money for cancer research. Celebrities like Tom Hanks, Gwyneth Paltrow and Justin Timberlake will take part, while Alicia Keys, Coldplay, and Taylor Swift are scheduled to perform. Swift is expected to debut her song “Ronan,” which she wrote about a 3-year-old boy of the same name who died of neuroblastoma in 2011. Swift penned the song after reading a blog post by Ronan’s mother Maya Thompson, and credited her as a co-writer. The track will be available on iTunes tonight and sales will go to cancer-related charities.

You can watch the telethon at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC.
