For the first time, Facebook Credits will be used towards a large-scale philanthropic movement at tonight's Stand Up To Cancer event. The star-studded live fundraiser and telethon will be broadcast across a number of major television channels as a way to raise money towards cancer research. While generally these events usually focus on getting people to call in to donate money towards a cause, now viewers will be able to make donations via Facebook's virtual currency Facebook Credits, with 100 percent of the donation going towards the cause.
