UPDATE:  David Archuleta introduced a representative from the Crush Kids fundraising team. They raised 16K this summer and over 66K since 2008.  Ryan Seacrest joined them offering a flip camera to the highest donor in the next 10 minutes.

David Archuleta tweeted last night: “Well had a nice time at home. Back to California now. Going to be helping out a little at Stand Up 2 Cancer tomorrow!”

Tonight’s Stand Up To Cancer telethon will be broadcast across multiple networks and will feature a slew of celebrities performing, soliciting donations and in David’s case, manning the phones. Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson will also be on hand to help.

The hour long broadcast begins at 8 pm, but there will be an online pre-show hosted by Cat Deeley of  So You Think You Can Dance, beginning at 7:30 and a post-show jam.

Video and Photos after the JUMP…

Plus, this hasn’t been confirmed, but the team leader of  Crush Kids says the David Archuleta fan fundraising team, will be announced as co-winners with the Survivor team at some point during the broadcast. Both teams raised close to 30K to benefit the fight against cancer.

Team leader, Pecan Pie says, “All I can say is, if things do go according to plan, your only regret would be missing this show! You’ve been warned people!” A hint that David may be doing more than just answering phones…

    David must be so proud to have inspired his fans to be so giving, generous and caring. Kudos to David and the “Crush Kids Cancer” team…what an awesome salute to all of them on the telethon!

    And thanks to MJ for the video!

    David seemed a little bit nervous, but oh so sweet. He and his team did a great job!

    Congratulations to the awesome Archie Angels team “Crush Kids Cancer” for being so giving and generous.

    And congratulations to this fine young gentleman for being so awesome… although his exquisite voice conveyed through a complete package of beauty (peach skin, shiny dark hair, dreamy light hazel eyes, the most kissable lips, mesmerizing smile, the famous Archuthighs, etc) would be more than enough to catch his fans and make them captives forever, he has so much more to offer: his unshakable faith, his high moral standards, his kind and gentle heart and soul full of love for the others and his commitment to so many charity works (since before Idol, so young, like ‘Invisible Children’). He supports and also inspires his fans to join such good causes like SU2C as well as others like ‘Rising Star Outreach’, ‘Do Something’, ‘Starkey Hearing Foundation’, ‘Crush MS’ (Multiple Sclerosis), ‘The ONE Campaign’, ‘Invisible Children’, ‘Make a Wish’, ‘Children’s Miracle Network’, ‘Mentors’, not to mention ‘Angels for a Cause’, created by his fans as well as ‘The David Archuleta Music Scholarship’.

    And he is only 19… I can easily envision this boy turning into a great humanitarian!

    Stars Stand Up to Cancer

    By Kelly E. Carter, Special to USA TODAY
    CULVER CITY, Calif.

    Recession be damned. That was the attitude at Friday’s Stand Up to Cancer telethon inside Stage 30 at Sony Pictures Studio. A multitude of stars from entertainment, sports, music and journalism came together to raise money and awareness at the one-hour fundraiser simulcast live and commercial-free on the four major networks as well as several cable stations.

    Starstruck stars

    The stars focused on the cause – 100% of the money raised goes toward collaborative cancer research but some were starstruck, too. Helgenberger was thrilled to meet Abdul-Jabbar. Donald Faison hoped for an encounter with Michael Douglas, who was recently diagnosed with Stage IV throat cancer, but had to settle for seeing the legendary actor on the big screen. Diamond, who grew up in Brooklyn, was thrilled to meet Newcombe, who played for the Brooklyn Dodgers…

    “I’m a huge American Idol person and I just saw David Archuleta,” Abigail Breslin said. “That was pretty cool.”

    Congratulations to David and his team of wonderful supporters who choose to follow and continue to be inspired by this fine young gentleman! He has represented AI well in his commitment to several charities. He not only inspires his fans but he is so good to us by putting out various music genres for his varied fans! Thank you so much David! I’m glad to be on the “A” Team!

    David’s public speaking skills have greatly improved. I am happy that he was given this opportunity to participate not only behind the scenes taking phone pledges, but also out front and center to acknowledge (and be recognized for) the awesome work of his Crush Kid’s Cancer team.
