Coleus, good to see you.
And good to see you still fighting the good fight.
I once spent the better part of a Saturday surfing trying to find out about this SGK and exactly what was going on.
My personal observations were that the board of directors (one is SGKs sister I think) make a hell of a lot of money.
I also could not find a link where they actually delineated who they gave money to for real cancer research, the amounts or anything of the sort.
I found plenty about how cancer survivors and those concerned for cancer victims could participate in this 3 day thing and collect a bunch of money to do something nebulous for some innocuous feel-good reason, but nothing substantive beyond that.
I finally capped off my assessment (again, purely my impression) that SGK was about money and, with their on and off, and on again sponsorship of Planned Parenthood activities (who were FORCED to admit in 2012 had NOT ONE mammogram machine in the whole country). Some here may recall that one of the board women, Karen Handel, ended up quitting over their duplicity.
Each time I see that little ribbon at the checkout counter of Kroger and they ask me for money, I ask “Is it for Komen? If so NO!”
ALL women’s groups seem to have connections to abortion.
20% of what they raised goes to “research” I hear
This is a ping list for cancer survivors and caregivers to share information.

It’s my understanding that PP essentially “bought” SGK in order to get a captive lap-dog that would stand out in front of them and scream to the world that there was no link between abortion and breast cancer.
It’s like a trade association of tobacco manufacturers buying out a second-string heart or lung research philanthropic organization.
Abortions also increase the risk of breast cancer, so SGK should not be funding PP on that basis.
Tell everyone you can that the Komen race for the cure is realy race for the abortion
Thanks for posting. Komen made a pact with evil.
This usually happens when charitable organizations get too big. Yes give locally.
Komen does sponsor local Relay for life events. So be careful who you are writing a check to. No one can go wrong IMO writing a check to a Children’s hospital.
