Please be aware that the American Cancer Society is also not the best place to have your money do the most good. They spend 29 or 30 cents out of every dollar you donate on "administrative costs," meaning silk suits for fat cat administrators, shiny trifolds and flyers getting for money, expensive ads, and so on. They don't help anyone with prevention. They don't even do much to help those already diagnosed. They never helped anyone in my family with cancer. Susan Komen, on the other hand, squeezes every penny until it squeaks. Give your donation to them, instead. And please, do your own research before you waste money on the wrong agency. There are websites online that review and rate these organizations, along with the reasons for their ratings. Be an informed consumer.
