Confessions of A Hockey Fanatic (Blogathon Edition)

Even when you have an organization that's popular and promotes a great noble cause like the awareness and the fund raising for continued research on a cure for cancer, the people who run the organization can't always be perfect. Recently, an Ohio Bishop took to task the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation about their apparent hypocritical stance when it comes to their funding of other organizations that may be contrary to the goals of prolonging life with medical science.

“They are open to embryonic stem cell research, and may very well fund such research in the future. They are also contributors to Planned Parenthood, which, though it may claim to provide needed medical services to poor women, is also the largest provider of abortions in our country,” Blair writes.

I am not as concerned about dividing readers among political lines, as issues with abortion have, but to be sincere towards this blog's goal, I am attempting to inform my readers by spreading what I deem information about cancer foundations and which ones stay the most active within communities.

Weather people continue to support the Susan G. Komen for the Cure is up to you. Use this information to decide for yourself weather or not to continue funding for the Komen people. I have decided not to support them.

What do you think? Should groups like this be more transparent as to where their money goes? Do you want to continue supporting them?
