Found this interesting.... The CEO of Susan koman makes 700k a year, about 25% more than CEOs of comparable charities and only 20 percent of their budget goes towards actual cancer research....

thats like the North Shore Animal League

Howard Stern used to pimp that place on his show, and Beth Ono used to pimp it on shows and in the papers.

It's rated as the worst.

CEO makes 1mil+. And at 1 time, only 15% of money donated went to the shelter in hamptons.The rest was used for bonuses and for parties for the famous.

Not only that, but they are full of shady business practices.

From Wiki:

quote:

Komen is a key entity in the controversy over "pinkwashing"—the use of breast cancer and the pink ribbon by corporate marketers, especially to promote products that might be unhealthy—in return for a donation to the cause. Komen benefits from these corporate partnerships, receiving over $55 million a year[54] from two hundred and sixteen corporate sponsors.[55] However, critics say many of these promotions are deceptive to consumers and benefit the companies more than the charity.[56]


They have also frequently sued of the use of the pink ribbon logo as well as the use of "for the cure" name by other charitable causes.
