My wife’s a breast cancer survivor. We don’t give Komen a penny.

I’m a breast cancer survivor as of April ‘12, *I* don’t give Komen a penny either!

SGK for the Cure seems to me nothing but another marketing fundraising organization that, after expenses, doles out money to preferred activities, Planned Parenthood among them.

Albeit, the focus here is on breast cancer, the same sorts of cancer cure endeavors are actively pursued by other organizations.

Last year, the CEO was paid about a half a million with Komen's sister pulling in a cool $417K (a nice hefty salary for decades I guess).

It pulled in about $400 million in donations, 20% was spent on "research" [whatever that was] other funds were spent on awareness, screening...marketing, fundraising, salaries and foundation costs..... Between 2008 and 2010 it paid almost $2million in severance costs - for what? Why?

Think about all this if you plan to give them any money
