I volunteer in the American Cancer Society Cancer Resource Center in a local hospital. ACS use to partner with Komen. ACS no longer does. Don’t know who broke off the relationship.

However, Komen use to provide us with “gas cards” to give to local women fighting breast cancer. They can no longer afford it. This is a big loss to the ACS CRC patients/clients.

Should the money be going to gas cards? I thought this was a fight for the cure. All money should be going for research or in my opinion the donations are being collected fraudulently. Gas cards, that is our concern?

BTW, doesn’t the government provide free transportation for medical appointments to a lot of these people already? I see an awful lot of “EMT Transportation” vans in my area and I live in a nice area.

One of the two articles had info on the CEO and President salaries -- they are about $1 million combined -- and that is with the CEO's salary being reduced by $150,000 per year.

The CEO is the sister of Susan Komen.
