Launching in the ABC Online Store today, September 17, $1 for every Dancing with the Stars Team t-shirt sold will be donated to Stand Up To Cancer, a grassroots movement raising much-needed funds for groundbreaking cancer research. Behind the scenes video footage of the t-shirt design process is now live on the Dancing with the Stars web page.
