50. In a perfect world non-profit agencies such as this would be unnecessary.

Everyone would have access to excellent health care, and universities and other publicly funded institutions would be doing abundant research to find the causes and a cure for breast cancer.

Maybe unpaid volunteers could bring pink Susan G Komen care-baskets to the hospitals to cheer up breast cancer patients, but I'll bet grandmas bringing marijuana brownies would be more popular.

Many charitable organizations reflect our society's most dismal failures and corruptions. Some simply become corrupt.
