You fuck with Planned Parenthood, you perish.

Poorly run organization in the first place, donates a small portion of their revenues to research, and are trying to raise funds in a wobbly economy.

You want to make a difference? Pick a better charity. There are loads of them out there.

This is what happens when you give conks money and no instructions.

I know democrats and republicans who are just as guilty. Perhaps Komen should keep the religious feelings out of the boardroom and do what's best for everyone. Just a thought.

How many breast cancer walks/runs have you done again? I've done two. My wife was the top fundraiser at the last one, and neither were with Komen

You do realize that Komen is suffering because the pro-life donors have gone elsewhere after Komen reversed itself and continued to give to Planned Parenthood?

Good for you. Glad to see you're backing it up with some action. Both my mother and MIL have battled and won so I'll stay involved.

Exactly. Conks are the ones always giving.

I'm sure that's part of it.

Madison was/is a huge Komen site and practically every runner/fundraiser I know is pro choice and bailed.

My wife has done a bunch. I have never done one. Too much pink all over the place. Screw that.

But if there is a Chili Cook-off for Colon Cancer some day, I will attend that one.

Komen's big issue is that you commit as a fundraiser to raise $2300. If you can get it from others, great, but as I understand it you're on the hook for it if you can't get it. That's partially why we've been involved with Avon and Relay for Life although we've raised substantially more than the $2300 in each race.

I agree Komen pissed off both groups. But pro-life groups have been urging to give elsewhere as a result of Komen's reversal and I'd guess this is a bigger factor.

PP itself is largely supported with tax payer dollars. Among major non-profits, PP falls way on the lower end of organizations supported by private donations -- only about 25 percent of its budget comes from private donors. Even then, much of that comes from large donors, such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which specifically earmarks its donations to avoid funding abortion services.

For this reason, I suspect Komen's problems have more to do with pro-life donors finding other charities to support. I have frequently seen it depicted in the media that Komen's problems is a result of a backlash of PP supporters boycotting it. However, other than a temporary surge in donations to PP immediately after the Komen controversy, private donations to PP have remained somewhat constant.

Good for you. I've never done a Komen race but i've been part of Relay for Life many times since high school.

I don't doubt this. However, we're talking about races here - not corporate, government or group gifts (or gifts to PP.)

The Komen fundraising model is dangerously effective - Women rallying friends, family and colleagues to sponsor or join them in the effort - all supported with FAF (Friends Asking Friends) online fundraising software. With a req of $2300 minimum, it doesn't take too many dropping out to have a huge bottom line impact.

I've been to these races, several of em, they're predominatly pro choice women who are running, or in the biggest cities in America, not running.
