Stand Up for Heroes 2020

Wednesday, November 18th at 9:00 p.m. EST

New York’s highly anticipated night of hope, healing and laughter honoring our nation’s veterans and their families, is going virtual for the first time in its 14 year history, and will air on ABC News Live, TikTok, Facebook, Cheddar, Twitch and Armed Forces Network on Wednesday, November 18th at 9:00 p.m. EST. 

In 2020, for the first time, Stand Up for Heroes is going virtual!

Supporters around the world will tune in for performances by top comedians, musicians, and special guests. Beyond the laughs, the evening will feature inspiring moments, memorable surprises, and stories of resilience while recognizing the men and women who have served in our nation’s military.
