Review for KIDS WITHOUT CANCER (formerly Leukemia, Research, Life, Inc.), Detroit, MI, USA
LRL is a fantastic, grass-roots organization engaged in raising funds for cancer research being conducted at Children's Hospital of Michigan. I was drawn to this organization for several reasons but one of the most important is that it is run by volunteers. LRL is so lean and efficient that it is able to pass on 90% of every dollar directly to Children's Hospital. From my research it appears that most highly-ranked charities are only left with about 65% of every dollar once administrative and marketing costs are deducted. LRL, on the other hand, if focused on keeping its costs to a bare minimum with the intent of forwarding as much money as possible to fund pediatric cancer research.
