MasterCard Partners With Stand Up To Cancer

MasterCard is partnering with Stand Up To Cancer and inviting cardholders to get together and give back through the simple act of dining out.

When cardholders spend $10 or more when dining out, or ordering in, and choose to pay with their MasterCard, the company will make a donation to the charity, up to a total of $4 million. The program runs through Sept. 15.

This is the fourth year the financial services company has supported the charity. Since the partnership began, MasterCard has donated a total of more than $20 million to the group help further cancer research initiatives, says Raja Rajamannar, chief marketing officer, MasterCard.

“The theme of this year’s program leverages our recently introduced Priceless Causes platform which is focused on uniting people around social initiatives to drive an impact,” Rajamannar said is a release.
