My Nonprofit Reviews

Years ago, when everything became "pink," from mixers to irons, I became suspicious that money for its own sake had overtaken SGK. It was no longer just raising money for cancer cure, it was raising money for itself. That was obvious to anyone who has a business background. So SGK lost track of its mission. SGK has apparently rediscovered a new mission in removing funding from an organization that serves poor people -- Planned Parenthood. And facts for those who jump in: no federal dollars are used for abortion, only 3% of what PP does is abortion; all the rest goes toward health care, screenings, pap smears and BREAST CANCER SCREENINGS. SGK is only a fund-raising organization. It provides no services or benefit. So, if you want to cure breast cancer, give to the American Cancer Society; if you want poor women to have health screenings, give to PP. And, on an unhappy note, RIP Susan G Komen. It's too bad that the organization that was intended to honor your memory made very bad political decisions when it shouldn't have gotten political at all.
