I did one Komen “walk” one year and most of the participants that I was aware of were big time libs. If it were not so sad in its hypocritical irony ,it would be comical. The pink mafia are a bunch of scammers.
I knew someone who did the Susan G. Komen walk, the 60 mile 3 day walk. It was a friend of the family. She walked and got sponsors and pledges. But, the people at Komen required walkers to donate a certain amount, and if they couldn’t raise the money from sponsors, they required the walkers to make up the difference in donations.
I can’t speak to whatever else Komen does with the money, but, they do seem focused on maximizing the money flow, even to the point of compelling the walkers/supporters to give more from their own pockets
