Please consider your alternatives to the Komen foundation this October. The Susan G. Komen foundation has a terrible recent history of pleasing their corporate sponsors & far-right supporters before actually helping women, and throws an outrageous amount of money towards promotion and merchandise in comparison to cancer research. Here are some better alternatives to buying Komen logo’d pink nail polish, pink cupcakes, pink smoothies, etc. if you feel like donating to the fight against breast cancer this month: Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) (bcrfcure.org/) claims 88% of their proceeds will go towards funding reearch (compared to about 20% in Komen’s 2009-2010 fiscal period). National Breast Cancer Foundation (https://nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-donations) put 86% towards mammograms, education, and other programs in 2012. BreastCancerFund.org “works to prevent breast cancer by eliminating our exposure to toxic chemicals and radiation linked to the disease” and claims to put 78% of your donations towards environmental prevention research
