Yes, the organization is named after a woman who died young from BC, and her sister started the org. Interestingly, the Left criticizes that sister for being a Republican, and the Left criticizes Komen for stopping the PP funding.
But there are other complaints about Komen: I’ve read that Komen sues smaller fundraising groups to stop them from using similar phrases and symbols. They say they don’t want donors to confuse those groups with theirs. OK, maybe that’s understandable.
But still another complaint is from terminally ill patients: they complain that the org stopped fundraising “for the cure” and has pretty much given up on them.

If they find a cure, they can’t do anymore fundraising.
That lasted about a week or so, then the funding was back on after the media excoriated them
