At least there are alternatives, like American Cancer Society and The Stephanie Spielman Fund.

Absolutely. God bless Chris Spielman and his involvement.
SGK's decision is chickenfeathers. I have supported them in the past by participating in their Race for the Cure a number of years, and donations. No more. Will find other avenues.
My peeve- There is a SGK Three Day Walk here in DC in October. I swear, ads for this already are on the radio and local tv channels 752 times a day. It's early February, for Christ's sake. i wonder what the percentage of funds raised by these walks actually go to research-that ad budget must chip away at a nice chunk of it. In addition, there is an Avon Three Day walk in May. They advertise 389 times a day. You can't get away from it.
