Here is a different kind of way to promote a cause. Cancer is certainly one of the most dreaded diseases we can ever come in contact with and to help promote the efforts of Pioneers for a cure, what better way to do it other than through songs from people who care in the music industry?

That is the intent of this new app for the iPhone, “Songs to Fight Cancer”. This app promises to deliver revived pioneer tunes for a fund raising initiative where each downloaded song is a point scored for cancer related care, treatment and research.

Embedded within the current 1.1 version of the iPhone App is a collective sing-a-long of 40 participating musicians mixed by the legendary Bob Clearmountain. From within the App itself, users can learn about the project, listen to streaming music previews, share information with others and connect to the Pioneers For a Cure website to make donations.
