Komen had $75.2 million dollars in administrative and direct fundrasing expenses last year...
In addition to $29.7 million in Race for the Cure 3-day event and $18.1 million in 'other' fundraising expenditures.

Who know how many millions spent in litigation against other non-profits for using the word "cure" and the color pink...

Komen is doing some good, but it's administrative and fundraising expenses are astronomical in scope.
