Review for American Cancer Society, Inc., Atlanta, GA, USA
It's Relay time again in our community... fundraiser after fundraiser, all efforts put on by volunteers to HELP CURE CANCER... by raising massive amounts of money that leave the community... by playing the CANCER CARD.
Less than 20% of each dollar goes to research (by private for -profit pharmaceutical companies. ) No one tells the volunteers this, or the huge budget of the AMC and what the Ceo's make.
Meanwhile, local organizations staffed by volunteers go begging ...
The good thing about RFL is that people get together for a day , have fun and support each other in their struggles with this disease, celebrate those who are cured and remember those who are gone...
Nothing wrong with that, and you know what... you don't need the ACS to put on an event like this... how about it people... ????
