Our donation does NOT go to Komen. Komen doesn't own the color pink nor are they the default charity when it comes to breast cancer research.

My research led me to the Breast Cancer Research Fund (bcrfcure.org). A+ rating by the American Institute of Philanthropy. 90%+ of the money received goes to research and awareness programs.

I didn't even consider Komen after they started suing other organizations for using the phrase "for the cure." Any organization that thinks that their money is best spent in this way shouldn't receive my money.
