Thanks for the informative post, Blondie93. While I don't agree with SGK's politically-fueled decision to stop contributing funds to PP, it's nice to know the reasoning behind some of their practices.
I know that some people are simply poor representatives of whatever groups they belong to, so it's hard to hold SGK responsible for the attitudes I've fielded from some of their folks. I've lost family members to breast cancer and bone cancer, and have watched some of my family members successfully battle breast and thyroid cancers. I appreciate that the mission of SGK is specifically related to breast cancer, but to diminish other cancers the way I've seen some representatives do just seems so heartless. I've witnessed an SGK representative tell a thyroid cancer survivor that she could not accompany her breast cancer survivor sister in a walk. I didn't see the logic, and felt like goodwill completely went out the window there.
Perhaps I should just accept that SGK is a business and will operate as such, instead of hoping that it's on a philanthropic mission to better the lives of people struggling with something terrible.
I love Kevin's post, btw.
