I will probably ruffle some feathers here but so be it.
I recently became aware that The Susan G. Komen Foundation that is supposed to be fighting for life is so closely aligned with Planned Parenthood - the nation's largest abortion mill - that Susan G. Komen's sister and founder of the organization sits on the board of directors of both organizations.
The two-way flow of money (hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions and raised support) has caused the Roman Catholic Diocese in Charleston, South Carolina, and Phoenix, Arizona, to withdraw their support for the "race for the cure" when they learned of the connection(s) with Planned Parenthood.
So where does that leave people who want to help find a cure for breast cancer but actually want their money do go in that direction and not somewhere else?
Glad you asked!
As a Bizymoms.com affiliate I get mailings from them on occasion. Today I got one and they have set up a site to collect donations for The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. which actually has a higher Charity Navigators rating than Susan G. Komen.
SO if anyone wants to donate through Bizymoms (nothing to do with anybody's affiliate link) here is the site they have set up. There is a lot of info and the donation link is near the bottom on the right.
www.bizymoms.com/cares/breastcancer/
There is also a button you can place on your site to let them know you have joined in the fight. The link to the button is www.bizymoms.com/kit_banners/bizymoms-cares-breast-cancer.jpg and the notification address is "nina at bizymoms dot com"
