Join the American Cancer Society and Showtime’s The Big C in the movement to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

In the new series on the pay-cable network, actress Laura Linney stars as Cathy Jamison, a reserved, stifled, Minneapolis schoolteacher who receives the life-changing news that she has cancer. From that moment on, she decides to make some drastic, long-overdue adjustments to the way she is living her life.

You can learn more about The Big C and help the American Cancer Society save lives from cancer by watching this exclusive trailer for the show. For every person who watches the trailer, Showtime will donate $1 (up to $25,000) to the American Cancer Society to help people stay well and get well, to find cures, and to fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. Together, we can make a world with less cancer and more birthdays a reality!

Watch now: Each view raises money for the fight against cancer.

The Big C premieres at 10:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on Monday, August 16 on Showtime.
